Anita and Bindu are partners in a 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 their sacrificing ratio?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 2 : 3
Meria’s share = 1/4, so the remaining share = 1 − 1/4 = 3/4
Anita’s new share = 2/3 × 3/4 = 2/4; Bindu’s new share = 1/3 × 3/4 = 1/4
Anita’s sacrifice = 3/5 − 2/4 = 12/20 − 10/20 = 2/20
Bindu’s sacrifice = 2/5 − 1/4 = 8/20 − 5/20 = 3/20
Sacrificing ratio = 2/20 : 3/20 = 2 : 3
