Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Recall that Sule and Ahmed have been sharing profit and losses equally. The admission of Khadija will only reduce the rate of losses and profits shared but will still be equally shared. The new sharing formula would be ;
\(\frac{2}{5}:{2}{5}:{1}{5}\)
\(\frac{2}{5}+{2}{5}+{1}{5}\) = \(\frac{5}{5}\) = 1
