Anita and Bindu are partner in firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. They admitted Meria as a new partner for 1/4 share. The new profit sharing ratio between Anita and Bindu will be 2 : 1. What will be the their sacrificing ratio?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is option 3- 2:3.
Old ratio = 3:2 (Anita and Bindu)
Meria = 1/4
New ratio = 2:1 (Anita and Bindu)
Let total share = 1
Meria = 1/4
Remaining share = 1- 1/4
= 3/4
This 3/4th is shared between Anita and Bindu in 2:1.
Anita's new share = 3/4 x 2/3
= 1/2
Bindu's share = 3/4 x 1/3
= 1/4
Sacrifice of Anita's share = 3/5 - 1/2
= (6-5)/10
= 1/10
Sacrifice of Bindu's share = 2/5 - 1/4
= (8-5)/20
= 3/20
Sacrificing ratio = 1/10 :3/20
= 2/20 :3/20
= 2:3
