d) 2,82,500:2,19,500:66,000

Answer - a) as per ICAI Study Material.

Please explain how the old partners capital can be decreased on admission, if the answer given is correct.

16 January 2009 Both partners are sacrificing their share. i.e. they shared in 60:40. Now they will sacrifice equally. i.e. 20% of new partner will come from 10% each.
Thus they will share 50:30:20.
Hence their capital will decrease proportionatley.
ICAI answer is right.
