I had the impression the result required was the @Ram line, but I see all Ram should print.

Code:

sed -n '1p' < a.txt | xargs -I output sed -n '/output/p' b.txt

So this small adjustment prints all Ram in all forms.
Hope this helps.
I learned a whole lot with your problem, about /dev/stdout and r (read) option in sed. Mostly I'm now aware of them and trying to implement them in examples.
