A sum of Rs. 1360 has been divided among A, B and C such that A gets $$\frac{2}{3}$$ of what B gets and B gets $$\frac{1}{4}$$ of what C gets. B's share is:

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Let}}\,C's\,{\text{share}} = Rs.\,x \cr & \text{Then,}\,B's\,{\text{share}} = \,Rs.\,\frac{x}{4}, \cr & A's\,{\text{share}} = Rs.\,\left( {\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{x}{4}} \right) = Rs.\,\frac{x}{6} \cr & \therefore \frac{x}{6} + \frac{x}{4} + x = 1360 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{17x}}{{12}} = 1360 \cr & \Rightarrow x = \frac{{1360 \times 12}}{{17}} = Rs.\,960 \cr & {\text{Hence}},\,B's\,{\text{share}} = Rs.\,\left( {\frac{{960}}{4}} \right) \cr & = Rs.\,240 \cr} $$

1/4=0.25
Then
1360÷100=13.6
13.6×25=340

x6+x4+x=1360⇒17x12=1360
