• 0:0:2

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

 Akash's sacrifice = `3/6 - 5/12 = 1/12`

Prakash's sacrifice = `2/6 - 3/12 = 1/12` 

Deepak's sacrifice = `1/6 - 2/12 = 0`

Therefore, Sacrificing ratio = 1 : 1 : 0
