A and B's old ratio is (5:3) and new ratio is (1:1). Who sacrifices?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A

Direct answer: Option A, A sacrifices. Convert the old ratio 5:3 into fractions: A has 5/8 and B has 3/8. The new ratio 1:1 gives each partner 1/2. Compare each share carefully. A changes from 5/8 to 1/2, and 5/8 is greater than 1/2, so A gives up 5/8 − 1/2 = 1/8. B changes from 3/8 to 1/2, so B receives an increase of 1/8 and gains. Therefore only A sacrifices, making option A correct. Option B is wrong because B’s share increases. Option C is wrong because both partners do not gain; one partner’s loss becomes the other’s gain. Option D is wrong because the shares clearly change. Memory cue: compare each partner’s old and new fraction, not just the written ratio numbers.
