Correct Answer: None of the above


Solution : Answer = None of the above

Old ratio=$\frac{1}{2}: \frac{1}{8}: \frac{3}{8}$= 4:1:3= D:V:V.
Divya takes= $\frac{1}{8} \times \frac{1}{9}=\frac{1}{72}$
Varun takes= $\frac{1}{8} \times \frac{8}{9}=\frac{1}{72}$

New ratio
Divya=$\frac{4}{8}+\frac{1}{72}=\frac{36+1}{72}=\frac{37}{72}$
Varun= $\frac{3}{8}+\frac{8}{72}=\frac{27+8}{72}=\frac{35}{72}$

N.P.S.R= 37:35
G.Ratio= 1:8
Hence, the correct option is 4.
