Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Amit sacrifices 14×35=320\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3}{20}; new share =35−320=920=2760= \frac{3}{5} - \frac{3}{20} = \frac{9}{20} = \frac{27}{60}. Beena sacrifices 13×25=215\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{2}{15}; new share =25−215=415=1660= \frac{2}{5} - \frac{2}{15} = \frac{4}{15} = \frac{16}{60}. Chitra =320+215=1760= \frac{3}{20} + \frac{2}{15} = \frac{17}{60}. New ratio =27:16:17= 27:16:17.
