Say a profit of60 is shared between J and K as36 and24 respectively. If C comes, it'll be shared as26.6:20:13.33. So the loss happened to J and K is9.4 and4 respectively, which is the sacrifice done by them. Converting the ratio9.4:4 to integers, it is7:3, option C.Correct me if I'm wrong. Thankyou
