Old Ratio =  Arti : Bharti
                = 3 : 2
Sarthi admitted for ` 1/4` share in new firm.

New Ratio = Arti : Bharti : Sarthi
                  = 2 : 1 : 1
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio − New Ratio

Arti = `3/5 - 2/4 = 2/20`

Bharti = `2/5 - 1/4 = 3/20`

Arti will receive = 10,000 x `2/5` = 4,000

Bharti will receive = 10,000 x `3/5` = 6,000.
