Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

New shares: A =3/6−1/8=3/8=3/6-1/8=3/8, B =2/6−1/8=5/24=2/6-1/8=5/24, C =1/6=4/24=1/6=4/24, D =1/4=6/24=1/4=6/24.

Applying these to 1,20,0001{,}20{,}000: A =45,000=45{,}000, B =25,000=25{,}000, C =20,000=20{,}000, D =30,000=30{,}000.

In order A, B, C, D this is (D), (B), (A), (C).
