The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

To calculate the sacrificing ratio, we first need to determine the amount of profit each partner sacrificed for Krish. The total share acquired by Krish is \( \frac{1}{5} \), which is taken from the existing partners Geeta and Hari. Hence, the sacrificing ratio of Geeta and Hari will be in the ratio of their original shares, i.e., 2 : 3.
