Working notes:
Calculation of gain/ sacrifice
Gaining Share = New share- Old share
Madhu = $\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 4$ - $\displaystyle 3$/$\displaystyle 10$ = -$\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 20$ (Sacrifice)
Raj = $\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 4$- $\displaystyle 2$/$\displaystyle 10$ = $\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 20$ (Gain)
Atul = $\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 4$- $\displaystyle 4$/$\displaystyle 10$ = -$\displaystyle 3$/$\displaystyle 20$ (Sacrifice)
Prachi = $\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 4$ - $\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 10$ = $\displaystyle 3$/$\displaystyle 20$ (Gain)
