Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Old shares are P = \frac{3}{5} and Q = \frac{2}{5} . Sacrifice of P = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3}{30} = \frac{1}{10} Sacrifice of Q = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{2}{20} = \frac{1}{10} Comparing the sacrifices: Sacrificing Ratio = \frac{1}{10} : \frac{1}{10} = 1 : 1
