A's old share is (3/5) and new share is (1/2). What is A's sacrifice?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (1/10)

The direct answer is option A, 1/10. Sacrifice means the portion of profit that an old partner gives up for the incoming partner. The formula is Sacrifice = old share − new share. A’s old share is 3/5 and his new share is 1/2. Convert them to a common denominator: 3/5 = 6/10 and 1/2 = 5/10. Now subtract: 6/10 − 5/10 = 1/10. Thus A sacrifices 1/10. Option A is correct. Option B, 1/2, is merely A’s new share, not the amount given up. Option C, 3/10, is not obtained by subtracting the two fractions; it ignores the correct common-denominator calculation. Option D, 11/10, is impossible here because it is greater than one whole and results from adding rather than subtracting the shares. The concept is important: a decrease in an old partner’s share is sacrifice, while an increase would be gain. Memory cue: old minus new equals sacrifice.
