Correct Answer: 57
Solution :
Given Ratio = $\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4}:\frac{1}{5}:\frac{1}{6}$
LCM of (3, 4, 5, 6) = 60.
So, the new ratio becomes
= $\frac{60}{3}:\frac{60}{4}:\frac{60}{5}:\frac{60}{6}$ = 20 : 15 : 12 : 10
Therefore, the minimum number of pens that a person should have = 20 + 15 + 12 +10 = 57.
Hence, the correct answer is 57.
