Rohit and Mohit are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio 5:3. They admitted Bijoy as a new partner for 1/7 share in the profit. The new profit sharing ratio will be 4:2:1. Calculate the sacrificing ratio of Rohit and Mohit

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Old ratio of Rohit and Mohit = 5:3

Rohit's old share = 58\frac{5}{8}

Mohit's old share = 38\frac{3}{8}


New profit sharing ratio = 4:2:1

Rohit's new share = 47\frac{4}{7}

Mohit's new share = 27\frac{2}{7}

Bijoy's new share = 17\frac{1}{7}


Sacrificing Ratio = Old Share - New Share

Rohit's sacrifice = 58−47=35−3256=356\frac{5}{8} - \frac{4}{7} = \frac{35-32}{56} = \frac{3}{56}

Mohit's sacrifice = 38−27=21−1656=556\frac{3}{8} - \frac{2}{7} = \frac{21-16}{56} = \frac{5}{56}


Sacrificing ratio = 356:556\frac{3}{56} : \frac{5}{56} = 3:5

The correct answer is Option 2: 3:5
