Correct Answer: Gain by $A \frac{1}{6}$; Sacrifice by $B \frac{1}{6}$


Solution : Answer = Gain by $A \frac{1}{6}$; Sacrifice by $B \frac{1}{6}$

Sacrificing Ratio = old ratio - new ratio

A = 1/2 - 2/3 = 3-4/6 = -1/6 (gain)

B = 1/2 - 1/3 = 3-2/6 = 1/6 (sacrifice)
​​​​​​​Hence, the correct option is 1.
