Solution

The correct option is B 8:4:3
Old ratio of Tom and Ban 2/3 and 1/3 respectively.
Jay share 1/5
step 1 :
remaining share = 1 - new partner share = 1-1/5= 4/5
new ratio = old ratio x rem share
Tom new share = 2/3 x 4/5 = 8/15
Ban new share = 1/3 x 4/5 = 4/15
Jay new share (equalize) = 1/5 x 3/3= 3/15
