Correct Answer:  A Nil, B sacrifice 1/30 and C gain 1/30


Solution : Answer =  A Nil, B sacrifice 1/30 and C gain 1/30

S.R. = old ratio - new ratio

A = 3/6 - 5/10 = 15 -15/30 = 0 no gain no sacrifice

B = 2/6 - 3/10 = 10 -9/30 = 1/30 Sacrifice

C = 1/6 -2/10 = 5- 6/30 = -1/30 gain
​​​​​​​Hence, the correct option is 1.
