Answer 1

Dr. C by ₹ 22,500; Cr. A by ₹ 17,500; Cr. B by ₹ 5,000

Explanation:

Old Ratio of A, B and C = 2 : 2 : 1

New Ratio of A, B and C = 1 : 2 : 3

Sacrifice or Gain:

`A = 2/5 - 1/6 = 7/30 "(Sacrifice)"      75,000 xx 7/30 = 17,500 (Cr.)`

`B = 2/5 - 2/6 = 2/30 "(Sacrifice)"      75,000 xx 2/30 = 5,000 (Cr.)`

`C = 1/5 - 3/6 = 9/30 "(Gain)"            75,000 xx 9/30 = 22,500`
