Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Ajay =3/6−1/8=1/2−1/8=3/8=3/6-1/8=1/2-1/8=3/8; Bijoy =2/6−1/8=1/3−1/8=5/24=2/6-1/8=1/3-1/8=5/24; Payal is unaffected at 1/6=4/241/6=4/24; Sunil =1/4=6/24=1/4=6/24.

Taking a common denominator of 2424: 9/249/24, 5/245/24, 4/244/24, 6/246/24.

New ratio =9:5:4:6=9:5:4:6.
