Question : A,B and C are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:3:4. They decide to share the future profits equally. The sacrifice or gain of partners are :
Option 1: A gains 1/30; B gains 1/30; C sacrifices 2/30
Option 2: A gains 2/30; B gains 1/30; C sacrifices 3/30
Option 3: A sacrifices 1/30; B gains 3/30; C sacrifices 2/30
Option 4: A gains 2/30; B gains 3/30; C sacrifices 5/30
Correct Answer: A gains 1/30; B gains 1/30; C sacrifices 2/30
Solution : Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio - New Ratio.
A = 3/10 - 1/3 = -1/30 (Gain).
B = 3/10 - 1/3 = -1/30 (Gain).
C = 4/10 - 1/3 = 2/30 (Sacrifice).
