A and B were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 4 : 3. They admitted C as a new partner. The new profit sharing ratio between A, B and C was 3 : 2 : 2. A surrendered 1⁄4 of his share in favour of C. Calculate B’s Sacrifice.
There are two ways of solution of the problem:
Way 1 :
A's sacrifice = A's Old ratio - A's New Ratio
= 4/7 - 3/7
= 1/7
B's sacrifice = C's Share - A's sacrifice
= 2/7 - 1/7
= 1/7
Way 2 :
B's sacrifice = B's Old share - B's New share
= 3/7 - 2/7
= 1/7
