Correct Answer: 19:11:10


Solution : Answer = 19:11:10
O.R-S.R

A= $\frac{5}{8}-\frac{3}{20}$= $\frac{100-24}{160}$= $\frac{76}{160}$
B= $\frac{3}{8}-\frac{2}{20}$= $\frac{60-16}{160}$= $\frac{44}{160}$

A sacrifice ratio= $\frac{1}{4}$×$\frac{3}{5}$= $\frac{3}{20}$
B sacrifice ratio= $\frac{1}{4}$×$\frac{2}{5}$= $\frac{2}{20}$
C's share= $\frac{3}{20}+\frac{2}{20}$= $\frac{5}{20}$×$\frac{8}{8}$= $\frac{40}{160}$.

N.P.S.R=76:44:40= 38:22:20= 19:11:10.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
