Amar and Bahadur are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2. They admitted Mary as a new partner for 1/4 share. The new profit sharing ratio between Amar and Bahadur will be 2:1. Calculate their sacrificing ratio.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Mary takes 1/41/4, so the remaining 3/43/4 is divided 2:12:1: Amar gets 1/21/2 and Bahadur 1/41/4. Sacrifice equals old share minus new share: Amar =3/5−1/2=1/10= 3/5 - 1/2 = 1/10 and Bahadur =2/5−1/4=3/20= 2/5 - 1/4 = 3/20. Converting to a common denominator, 2/20:3/20=2:32/20 : 3/20 = 2:3.
