The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Old Ratio (Pulkit : Ravinder) = 3 : 2
New Ratio (Pulkit : Ravinder : Sikander) = 2 : 2 : 1
Old Share: \[ Pulkit = \frac{3}{5}, \quad Ravinder = \frac{2}{5} \] New Share: \[ Pulkit = \frac{2}{5}, \quad Ravinder = \frac{2}{5} \] Sacrificing Ratio = Old Share – New Share: \[ Pulkit = \frac{3}{5} - \frac{2}{5} = \frac{1}{5}, \quad Ravinder = \frac{2}{5} - \frac{2}{5} = 0 \] But wait — they both now share equally, and Sikander is taking 1/5th share, so sacrifice should be calculated based on who gave how much: Old ratio = 3:2 (Total = 5 parts)
New ratio = 2:2:1 (Pulkit, Ravinder, Sikander)
So, Pulkit and Ravinder will share the sacrifice equally: \[ \text{Sikander's share} = \frac{1}{5}, \text{shared equally by Pulkit and Ravinder} = \frac{1}{10} \text{ each} \] Goodwill Premium = ₹ 10,00,000
So both Pulkit and Ravinder will get: \[ ₹ 10,00,000 \times \frac{1}{2} = ₹ 5,00,000 \text{ each} \] Final Answer: Pulkit ₹ 5,00,000, Ravinder ₹ 5,00,000
New Ratio (Pulkit : Ravinder : Sikander) = 2 : 2 : 1
Old Share: \[ Pulkit = \frac{3}{5}, \quad Ravinder = \frac{2}{5} \] New Share: \[ Pulkit = \frac{2}{5}, \quad Ravinder = \frac{2}{5} \] Sacrificing Ratio = Old Share – New Share: \[ Pulkit = \frac{3}{5} - \frac{2}{5} = \frac{1}{5}, \quad Ravinder = \frac{2}{5} - \frac{2}{5} = 0 \] But wait — they both now share equally, and Sikander is taking 1/5th share, so sacrifice should be calculated based on who gave how much: Old ratio = 3:2 (Total = 5 parts)
New ratio = 2:2:1 (Pulkit, Ravinder, Sikander)
So, Pulkit and Ravinder will share the sacrifice equally: \[ \text{Sikander's share} = \frac{1}{5}, \text{shared equally by Pulkit and Ravinder} = \frac{1}{10} \text{ each} \] Goodwill Premium = ₹ 10,00,000
So both Pulkit and Ravinder will get: \[ ₹ 10,00,000 \times \frac{1}{2} = ₹ 5,00,000 \text{ each} \] Final Answer: Pulkit ₹ 5,00,000, Ravinder ₹ 5,00,000
