A and B are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio 3 : 2. They admitted Z for 1/8th share. Z got this share as 1/16 from A and 1/16 from B. Calculate sacrificing ratio of A and B.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 1 : 1
Sacrifice = old share − new share; here the shares given up are stated directly.
A’s sacrifice = 1/16
B’s sacrifice = 1/16
Sacrificing ratio = 1/16 : 1/16 = 1 : 1
