Answer 1

Akash, Prakash and Deepak are partners who share profits as 3:2:1. They admit Suraj as a partner and decided to share future profits as 5:3:2:2. The sacrifice ratio will be 1:1:0.

Explanation: It is calculated as follows:-

Sacrifice ratio = Old ratio – New ratio

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Akash}\text{'}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{sacrifice}=\frac{3}{6}-\frac{5}{12}=\frac{1}{12} \\ \mathrm{Prakash}\text{'}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{sacrific}=\frac{2}{6}-\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{12} \\ \mathrm{Deepak}\text{'}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{sacrifice}=\frac{1}{6}-\frac{2}{12}=0 \\ \mathrm{Therefore},\mathrm{Sacrificing}\mathrm{ratio}=1:1:0 \end{gathered}$$
