Working Note:
Calculate the new profit-sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio:
Old Ratio of Amit and Sumit = 3 : 2
Amit’s sacrifice = `1/3 xx 3/5`
= `3/15`
= `1/5`
Sumit’s sacrifice = `1/4 xx 2/5`
= `2/20`
= `1/10`
Sacrificing Ratio of Amit = `1/5`
= `(1 xx 2)/(5 xx 2)`
= `2/10`
Sacrificing Ratio of Amit and Sumit = `2/10 : 1/10` or 2 : 1
Puneet’s share = Amit’s sacrifice + Sumit’s sacrifice
= `1/5 + 1/10`
= `(1 xx 2)/(5 xx 2) + 1/10`
= `2/10 + 1/10`
= `(2 + 1)/10`
= `3/10`
