Working Notes:
WN 1 Calculation of Sacrificing (or Gaining) Ratio
Old Ratio (X, Y and Z) = 5 : 4 : 3
New Ratio (X, Y and Z) = 4 : 3 : 2
Sacrificing (or Gaining) Ratio = Old Ratio − New Ratio
X's share = `5/12 - 4/9 = (15-16)/36 = -1/36` (gain)
Y's share = `4/12 - 3/9 = (12-12)/36` = Nil
Z's share = `3/12 -2/9 = (9-8)/36 = 1/36` (sacrifice)

WN 3 Adjustment of Profit on Revaluation and General Reserve
Amount for Adjustment = Profit on Revaluation + General Reserve
= 15,000 + 75,000 = Rs 90,000
Amount to be debited to X's capital = `90,000 xx 1/36` = Rs 2,500
Amount to be credited to Z's capital = `90,000 xx 1/36` = Rs 2,500
