Options:

1:1:1

14:10:6

16:12:7

3:2:1

Correct Answer:

16:12:7

Explanation:

Old ratio = 4:3
Sanjeev share = 1/5
Let whole profit = 1
Remaining share after Sanjeev = 1-1/5
                                                = 4/5
4/5 distributed between Arun and Ram in their old ratio
Arun new share = 4/5 X 4/7
                        = 16/35
Ram new share = 4/5 X 3/7
                        = 12/35
New ratio = 16/35:12/35:1/5
               =16:12:7
