Shubham and Gill are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3. They admit Hardik as a new partner for 1/7 share in the profit. The new profit sharing ratio will be 4:2:1. What will be the sacrificing ratio of Shubham and Gill?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Sacrifice == Old share −- New share.

Shubham: 5/8−4/7=(35−32)/56=3/565/8-4/7=(35-32)/56=3/56.

Gill: 3/8−2/7=(21−16)/56=5/563/8-2/7=(21-16)/56=5/56.

Sacrificing ratio =3:5=3:5. Check: total sacrifice =8/56=1/7=8/56=1/7, which equals Hardik's share.
