Mohan and Sohan share profits in the ratio 5:7. Rohan is admitted for a 1/4 share, and Mohan and Sohan share the balance in the ratio 4:5. What is Sohan’s sacrifice?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1/6

The direct answer is 1/6, so option A is correct. Sacrifice is calculated as old share minus new share. Mohan and Sohan originally share in the ratio 5:7, so Sohan’s old share is 7/(5+7)=7/12. Rohan receives 1/4, leaving 1−1/4=3/4 for Mohan and Sohan. They divide this balance in the new mutual ratio 4:5, so Sohan receives 5/9 of the balance. His new share is (3/4)×(5/9)=15/36=5/12. Therefore Sohan’s sacrifice is 7/12−5/12=2/12=1/6. Option B is only Sohan’s old share, not his sacrifice. Option C is Rohan’s share. Option D results from using the new ratio or subtraction incorrectly. The important distinction is that the 4:5 ratio applies only to the remaining 3/4, not to the entire profit. A quick check is that Sohan’s share falls from 7/12 to 5/12, and the difference is exactly 1/6.
