Recently, Bhargava, Adiga and Somashekara made use of Ramanujan's 1Ψ1 summation formula to prove a convolution identity for certain coefficients generated by the quotient of two infinite products. As special cases of this identity, they deduced several results (connected especially with the generalised Frobenius partition functions) including, for example, the convolution identities given earlier by Kung-Wei Yang. In this sequel to the aforementioned works, we provide a complete answer to an interesting question raised by Bhargava, Adiga and Somashekara in connection with one class of their convolution identities.
