Correct Answer: 2:1


Solution : Answer = 2:1

Sacrifice Ratio = Old Ratio - New Ratio

Therefore, Sacrifice made by A=$\frac{5}{10}-\frac{3}{10}=\frac{2}{10}$

Sacrifice made by B=$\frac{3}{10}-\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{10}$

Sacrifice made by C=$\frac{2}{10}-\frac{2}{10}=0$

As C has not sacrificed any share of profit, therefore sacrifice ratio of A and B=$\frac{2}{10}: \frac{1}{10}$ or $2: 1$.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
