A and B share profits in the ratio 3:8. The new partner C is admitted for a \(\frac{2}{11}\) share of the total profit. A and B sacrifice this share in the ratio 2:3. What will be the new profit-sharing ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 11:34:10

The old shares of A and B are \(\frac{3}{11}=\frac{15}{55}\) and \(\frac{8}{11}=\frac{40}{55}\), respectively. C receives \(\frac{2}{11}=\frac{10}{55}\). Since A and B sacrifice in the ratio 2:3, A sacrifices \(\frac{4}{55}\) and B sacrifices \(\frac{6}{55}\). Therefore, A’s new share is \(\frac{11}{55}\), B’s is \(\frac{34}{55}\), and C’s is \(\frac{10}{55}\). Hence, the new ratio is 11:34:10. The ratio 3:8:2 is incorrect because it does not deduct the sacrificing shares from A and B. Exam tip: Convert the old ratio into fractional shares before subtracting the sacrifice.
