Rohit and Mohit are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3. They admit Bijoy as a new partner for 1/7th share in the profits. The new profit sharing ratio will be 4:2:1. The sacrificing ratio of Rohit and Mohit is-
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 3:5
When the new ratio is given, each old partner’s sacrifice = old share − new share.
Rohit: 5/8 − 4/7 = 35/56 − 32/56 = 3/56
Mohit: 3/8 − 2/7 = 21/56 − 16/56 = 5/56
Sacrificing ratio = 3/56 : 5/56 = 3:5
The old ratio 5:3 (Option (4)) is the reverse: the partner with the larger old share gives up less here.
