Solution

The correct option is B 3:1
Old ratio ( A, B and C) = 3 : 2 : 1
Share of B = 2/6
Share of B taken by A = (2/6) * (3/4) = 3/12
share of B taken by C = (2/6) * (1/4) = 1/12
New ratio = Old ratio + Share taken from B
A's new share = (3/6) + (3/12) = 9/12
C's new share = (1/6) + (1/12) = 3/12
Therefore, new share of A and c is 9 : 3 or 3 : 1
