If the new partner's share is taken from old partners in (2:1) then what is the sacrificing ratio?

Correct answer: (2:1)

Direct answer: Option A, 2:1, is correct. Sacrificing ratio means the ratio in which the old partners give up their profit shares for the incoming partner. The question directly states that the new partner’s share is taken from the old partners in the ratio 2:1. Therefore the amount sacrificed by the first old partner is two parts and the amount sacrificed by the second is one part. No separate calculation is needed unless actual shares are requested. Option A repeats exactly this ratio. Option B reverses the order and would mean the first partner sacrifices one part while the second sacrifices two, which is not stated. Option C, old ratio, is not necessarily the sacrifice ratio; it is used only when the question says sacrifice follows the old ratio. Option D, new ratio, describes final profit distribution and is a different idea. Memory cue: sacrificing ratio tells “who gives up how much,” while new ratio tells “who finally receives how much.”
