Jay’s new share = 3/5 of 3/4 i.e. 9/20

Vijay’s new share = 2/5 of 3/4 i.e. 6/20

Sanjay’s Share = 1/4 Or 5/20

The new profit-sharing ratio of Jay, Vijay, and Sanjay are:

= 9/20 : 6/20 : 5/20

= 9 : 6 : 5

Sacrificing ratio =Old Ratio – New Ratio

Jay Sacrificed = 3/5 – 9/20

= 12 – 9/20

= 3/20

Vijay Sacrificed = 2/5 – 6/20

= 8 – 6/20

= 2/20
