I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is a homework question without effort shown.

@FooBar Please la I have shown my answer for first part because the risk averse individual prefers safer option with same value than riskier option with same value. However, I am not sure second part

There is insufficient information to answer. You need additional information about the preferences, such as the consumer's Neumann-Morgenstern utility function or other choices. Also, FooBar was correct: you should always immediately state that what you are posting is a homework question, and then show effort in the question itself, not in a comment afterwards. You should edit your question accordingly.
