A&B are partner sharing profit and loss in the ratio 5:3. C is admitted for 3/10 share in profit .half of the share was gifted by A and remaining half is taken from A&b equally. calculate new profit sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio

old ratio of A & B =5:3
               C's share =3/10
half of C's share to be gifted by A = 3/10 X 1/2 = 3/20                                   
remaining half share will be given by A & B equally
                            remaining share =3/20                                                          
                half of remaining share = 3/20 X 1/2 = 3/40
so both A&B will give 3/40th share to C.
now, total share that will be given by A = 3/20 + 3/40 = 9/40

          total share that will be given by B = 3/40

        A's new share = 5/8    9/40 = 16/40
       B's new share  = 3/8     3/40 = 12/40
                C's share = 3/10 X 4/4 = 12/40

therefore, New Profit sharing ratio = 16:16:12   OR   4:4:3
                          Sacrificing Ratio = Take-over ratio  i.e.,  9:3   OR    3:1

sacrifice ratio is given in the question which is equal. share gifted by A is not to be treated as his sacifice.
