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

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Sacrificing Ratio = Old Share - New Share

Old Profit Sharing 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 of Rohit, Mohit and Bijoy = 4:2:1

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

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


Sacrifice by Rohit = 58−47\frac{5}{8} - \frac{4}{7}

= 35−3256=356\frac{35 - 32}{56} = \frac{3}{56}

Sacrifice by Mohit = 38−27\frac{3}{8} - \frac{2}{7}

= 21−1656=556\frac{21 - 16}{56} = \frac{5}{56}


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

= 3:5

The correct answer is Option 1: 3:5
