Question. Aarti and Bharti are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3. They admit Shital for 1/4th share and agree to share between them in the ratio of 2:1 in future. Calculate new and sacrificing ratio.
Answer : Old ratio = 5:3
Shital = 1/4th Share
Let the profit be Rs. 1
Remaining profit = 1-1/4 =3/4
Arti : Babita = 2:1
Arti’s share = 3/4 X 2/3 = 1/2
Babita’s Share = 3/4 X 1/3 = 1/4
New Ratio = 1/2, 1/4, 1/4 Or 2:1:1
Sacrificing ratio = Old ratio – New ratio
Arti’s sacrifies = 5/8 – 2/4 = 1/8
Babita’s Sacrifies = 3/8 – 1/4 = 1/8
