Correct Answer: 5:13:6:32


Solution : Answer = 5:13:6:32

A's share $=\frac{3}{8}-\frac{2}{7}=\frac{21-16}{56}=\frac{5}{56}$
B's share $=\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{7}=\frac{21-8}{56}=\frac{13}{56}$
C's share $=\frac{2}{8}-\frac{1}{7}=\frac{14-8}{56}=\frac{6}{56}$
D s share $=\frac{4}{7}$

Thus, the new profit-sharing ratio for A, B, C and D will be :

$\frac{5}{56}: \frac{13}{56}: \frac{6}{56}: \frac{4}{7} \text { or } \frac{5: 13: 6: 32}{56} \text { or } 5: 13: 6: 32$
Hence, the correct option is 1.
