Sule and Ahmad are in partnership sharing profits and losses equally. If Khadija is admitted as new partner to take \(\frac{1}{5}\) as her share, what is the new profit or loss sharing ratio?
A. Sule 1/3, Ahmad 1/3 and Khadija 1/3 B. Sule 1/5, Ahmad 15 and Khadija 3/5 C. Sule 2/5, Ahmad 2/5 and Khadija 1/5 D. Sule 2/5, Ahmad 1/5 and Khadija 2/5
