A and B shared profits in (3:7). The new ratio is (2:6:2). What is the sacrificing ratio of A and B?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (1:1)

The direct answer is A, (1:1). First convert the old ratio 3:7 into fractions: A had 3/10 and B had 7/10. The new ratio 2:6:2 has total 10, so A now has 2/10 and B has 6/10. A’s sacrifice is 3/10 − 2/10 = 1/10. B’s sacrifice is 7/10 − 6/10 = 1/10. Therefore their sacrifices are equal, or 1:1. Option A is correct. Option B, 3:7, is merely the old ratio, not the calculated sacrifice. Option C, 2:6, gives the new shares of A and B, not their sacrifices. Option D, 1:2, does not follow because both calculated sacrifices are equal. Exam cue: always subtract each partner’s new share from the old share before forming the ratio.
