Solution

The correct option is B
$\frac{[\to b \to c \to d]}{[\to b \to c \to a]}$

$\to d = λ \to a + μ \to b + ν \to c ∴ [\to d \to b \to c] = \to d . \to b \times \to c = λ \to a . \to b \times \to c + μ \to b . \to b \times \to c + ν \to c . \to b \times \to c = λ [\to a \to b \to c] + 0 + 0 = λ [\to a \to b \to c] \Rightarrow λ = \frac{[\to d \to b \to c]}{[\to a \to b \to c]} = \frac{[\to b \to c \to d]}{[\to b \to c \to a]}$
