    d) $3: $6

    Explanation:

    The computation is shown below:

    Before the one firm cheats, the firm revenue is

    = $10 * $6

    = $60

    Before the one firm cheats, the firm revenue is

    = $9 * $7

    = $63

    No cheating firm's revenue

    = $9 * $6

    = $54

    Now in case of cheating, it is

    = $63 - $60

    = $3

    And, in the case of non cheating, it is

    = $60 - $54

    = $6
