P and Q were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5: 3. R was admitted for 1 / 4th share in the profits, of which he took 75% from P and the remaining from Q. Calculate the sacrificing ratio of P and Q. (CBSE 2020)

SOLUTION

Old ratio of P and Q = 5: 3
Share of R is 1 / 4th in the profits
R will take 75% From P
P will take 75% = 3 / 4
Remaining share of Profit from Q = 1 / 1 – 3 / 4 = 1 / 4
Sacrificing ratio of P and Q = 3: 1
