Correct Answer: 1:1


Solution : Answer = 1:1

A's new Share $=\frac{3}{6}$ b's new Share $=\frac{2}{6}-\frac{1}{16}=\frac{16-3}{48}=\frac{13}{48}$

C's new Share $=\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{16}=\frac{8-3}{48}=\frac{5}{48} \quad$ D's Share $=\frac{1}{8}$

Thus, the New Profit Sharing Ratio for A, B, C and D will be: $\frac{3}{6}: \frac{13}{48}: \frac{5}{48}: \frac{1}{8}$

Sacrificing ratio will be 1: 1 because b and c sacrifice in the ratio of 1: 1.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
