From http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-resource-management-guide.pdf
When you remove a virtual machine from a resource pool, the total number of shares associated with the
resource pool decreases, so that each remaining share represents more resources.
This question is worded a bit tricky, but if I understand it correctly, it’s asking what would happen to the child pools resource value from the parent if a VM is removed from the child pool. If that is indeed the case, the answer should be A, it remains the same. Removing the VM from the child resource pool may affect the total number of shares and their corresponding value inside the pool, but it’s %shares from it’s parent will remain the same. I just tested this in a lab to confirm.
same what say Jon, %share remain the same
this question was in my exam of aug 2012
aiotestking.com has 3 google results for terms in this question, this being one of them.
this one, which does not mention %SHARES, has an answer of decreasing.

seems to be logical.
yes , I’ll fix all questions if it wrong
