Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Farhan takes 1/61/6 and Lakhan keeps his original 1/61/6. The balance 1−1/6−1/6=4/61 - 1/6 - 1/6 = 4/6 is shared by Jitesh and Kamal in 3:23:2.

Jitesh =4/6×3/5=12/30= 4/6 \times 3/5 = 12/30, Kamal =4/6×2/5=8/30= 4/6 \times 2/5 = 8/30, Lakhan =5/30= 5/30, Farhan =5/30= 5/30.

New ratio =12:8:5:5= 12:8:5:5.
