Praveena and Dhanya are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 7:3. They admit
Malini into the firm. The new ratio among Praveena, Dhanya and Malini is 5:2:3.
Calculate the sacrificing ratio.
Solution:
Old ratio of Praveena & Dhanya = 7/10 : 3/10
New ratio of Praveena , Dhanya & Malini = 5/10 : 2/10 : 3/10
Sacrificing ratio = Old ratio – New ratio
Praveena share = 7/10 – 5/10 = 7-5/10 = 2/10
Dhanya share = 3/10 – 2/10 = 3-2/10 = 1/10
Sacrificing ratio = 2/10 : 1/10 that is 2:1
18. Ananth and Suman are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2. They
admit Saran for 1/5 share, which he acquires entirely from Ananth. Find out the
new profit sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio.
Exercises no: 9
Solution:
Computation of SR & NR:
Ananth = 1/5
Suman = 0
Sacrificing ratio = 1:0
Old ratio of Ananth and Suman is 3:2 that is 3/5 : 2/5
New share of old partner = Old share - Share sacrificed
Ananth = 3/5 – 1/5 = 2/5
Suman = 2/5 – 0 = 2/5
Saran = 1/5
New ratio = 2:2:1
19. Raja and Ravi are partners, sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2. They admit Ram for 1/4 share

Raja = 1/20
Ravi = 4/20
Sacrificing ratio = 1:4
Old ratio of Raja and Ravi is 3:2 that is 3/5 : 2/5
New share of old partner = Old share - Share sacrificed
Raja = 3/5 – 1/20 = 12-1/20 = 11/20
Ravi = 2/5– 4/20 = 8-4/20 = 4/20
Ram = 1/4 *5/5 = 5/20

Vimala and Kamala are partners, sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 4:3. Vinitha
enters into the partnership and she acquires 1/14 from Vimala and 1/14 from Kamala.
Find out the new profit sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio.
Vimala = 1/14
Kamala = 1/14
Sacrificing ratio = 1:1
Old ratio of Vimala and Kamala is 4:3 that is 4/7 : 3/7
New share of old partner = Old share - Share sacrificed
Vimala = 4/7 – 1/14 = 8-1/14 = 7/14
Kamala = 3/7 – 1/14 = 6-1/14 = 5/14
Vinitha = 1/14 + 1/14 = 2/14

Govind and Gopal are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5:4. They
admit Rahim as a partner. Govind surrenders 2/9 of his share in favour of Rahim.
Gopal surrenders 1/9 of his share in favour of Rahim. Calculate the new profit
sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio.
Solution:
Computation of SR & NR:
Share sacrificed = Old share * proportion of share sacrificed
Govind = 5/9 * 2/9 = 10/81
Gopal = 4/9 * 1/9 = 4/81
S.R = 10:4 (or) 5:2
New ratio = old share – sacrificing share
Govind = 5/9 – 10/81 = 45-10/81 = 35/81
Gopal = 4/9 – 4/81 = 36-4/81 = 32/81
Rahim = 10/81 + 4/81= 14/81

Prema and Chandra share profits in the ratio of 5:3. Hema is admitted as a partner.
Prema surrendered 1/8 of her share and Chandra surrendered 1/8 of her share in
favour of Hema. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio.
Solution:
Computation of SR & NR:
Share sacrificed = Old share * proportion of share sacrificed
Prema = 5/8 * 1/8 = 5/64
Chandra = 3/8 * 1/8 = 3/64
S.R = 5:3
New ratio = old share – sacrificing share
Prema = 5/8 – 5/64 = 40-5/64 = 35/64
Chandra = 3/8 – 3/64 = 24-3/64 = 21/64
Hema = 1/8 * 8/8 = 8/64
New ratio = 35:21:8

Karthik and Kannan are equal partners. They admit Kailash with 1/4 share of the profit.
Kailash acquired his share from old partners in the ratio of 7:3. Calculate the new profit
sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio.
Kailash share = ¼
Old ratio = 1/2: 1/2 (1:1)
Proportion of share sacrificed = 7/10 : 3/10
Share sacrificed = New partners share * proportion of share sacrificed
Karthick = 1/4* 7/10 = 7/40
Kannan = 1/4 * 3/10 = 3/40
S.R = 7:3
New ratio = old share – sacrificing share
Karthick = 1/2 – 7/40 = 20-7/40 = 13/40
Kannan = 1/2 – 3/40 = 20-3/40 = 17/40

Selvam and Senthil are partners sharing profit in the ratio of 2:3. Siva is admitted into
the firm with 1/5 share of profit. Siva acquires equally from Selvam and Senthil.
Calculate the new profit sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio.
Solution:
Computation of SR & NR:
Siva share =1/5
Old ratio = 2/3: 1/3 (2:1)
Proportion of share sacrificed = 1/2 : 1/2
Share sacrificed = New partners share * proportion of share sacrificed
Selvam = 1/5* 1/2 =1/10
Senthil = 1/5* 1/2 =1/10
S.R = 1:1
New ratio = old share – sacrificing share
Selavam = 2/5– 1/10 = 4-1/10 = 3/10
Senthil = 3/5 – 1/10 = 6-1/10 = 5/10
Siva =1/5 *2/2 = 2/10

Mala and Anitha are partners, sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2. Mercy is
admitted into the partnership with 1/5 share in the profits. Calculate new profit sharing
ratio and sacrificing ratio.
Solution:
Computation of SR & NR:
Let us assume
Total share = 1
Remaining share = Total share – Mercy share of profit
Remaining share = 1-1/5 = 4/5
Computation of New profit sharing ratio:
New share = Remaining share * old share
Mala =4/5x 3/5 = 12/25
Anitha =4/5x2/5 = 8/25
Mercy = 1/5 x5/5 = 5/25
New profit sharing ratio = 12:8:5
Computation of Sacrificing ratio:
S.R = O.R – N.R
Mala = 3/5 – 12/25 = 15-12/25 = 3/25
Anitha = 2/5 – 8/25 = 10-8/25 = 2/25
Sacrificing ratio = 3:2

Ambika, Dharani and Padma are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3:2.
They admit Ramya for 25% profit. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio and sacrificing
ratio.
Let us assume
Total share = 1
Remaining share = Total share – Ramya share of profit
Remaining share = 1-1/4 = 3/4
Computation of New profit sharing ratio:
New share = Remaining share * old share
Ambika =3/4x 5/10 = 15/40
Dharani =3/4x3/10 = 9/40
Padma = 3/4 x2/10 = 6/40
Ramya = 1/4 *10/10 = 10/40
New profit sharing ratio = 15:9:6:10
Computation of Sacrificing ratio:
S.R = O.R – N.R
Ambika = 5/10 – 15/40 = 20-15/40 = 5/540
Dharani = 3/10 – 9/40 = 12-9/40 = 3/40
