      B 218 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 346 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 241 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Given Ratio = (1/7):(1/8):6:8.

      Multiplying all values by 56 i.e. LCM of 7 and 8,

      The ratio becomes = 8:7:336:448

      So, number of toffees received by the second highest recipient = 840 × (336/799) = 353

      Number of toffees received by the least recipient = 840 × (7/799) = 7

      So, required difference = 353 - 7 = 346
