p=3s
s=2m
p-(x+y) = s+x
p-(x+y) = m+y

If p gives away 1/2 of his eggs,
1/6 to s and 1/3 to m, then

Pablo has p/2
Sofia has p/3 + p/6 = p/2
Mia has p/6 + p/3 = p/2

Assign a variable to the number of eggs Mia has, say mm. Then, because we are given that Sofia has twice the number of eggs Mia has, Sofia has 2m2m eggs, and Pablo, having three times the number of eggs as Sofia, has 6m6m eggs. For them to all have the same number of eggs, they must each have m+2m+6m3=3mm+2m+6m3=3m eggs. This means Pablo must give 2m2m eggs to Mia and a mm eggs to Sofia, so the answer is m6m=(B) 1/6
