A sum of Rs. 1360 has been divided among A, B and C such that A gets 
of what B gets and B gets 
of what C gets. B's share is:
of what B gets and B gets of what C gets. B's share is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let C's share = Rs. x
| Then, B's share = Rs. | x | , A's share = Rs. |  |
2 | x | x |  |
= Rs. | x |
| 4 | 3 | 4 | 6 |
 |
x | + | x | + x = 1360 |
| 6 | 4 |
 |
17x | = 1360 |
| 12 |
| x = |
1360 x 12 | = Rs. 960 |
| 17 |
| Hence, B's share = Rs. | |
960 | |
= Rs. 240. |

How 17x will come?

x/6 + x/4+ x/1 =1360
l.c.m of6,4 &1 is 12
so 2x + 3x+ 12x/12=1360
17x/12=1360
This way is comes 17x/12 sabri

x/6+x/4+x/1=1360
(2x+3X+12x)/12=1360
HERE 12 IS LCM OF 2,4,1
(2x+3X+12x)/12=1360
HERE 12 IS LCM OF 2,4,1

I have got a simple substitution way of solving
A+B+C=1360
A=2/3B , B=1/4C(C=4B as we need B's share)
2/3B+B+4B=1360
B=240
A+B+C=1360
A=2/3B , B=1/4C(C=4B as we need B's share)
2/3B+B+4B=1360
B=240

This is a reversible equation
Here 1=X
c=1,b=1/4 & a=1/6
c+b+a=1360
X*(1+1/4+1/6)=1360
X *((12+3+2)/12)= 1360
By solving we get b=240.

A:B = 2:3.
B:C = 1:4.
A:B:C = 2:3:12.
Total parts = 2+3+12+17 parts.
17 parts = 1360.
B's share is 3 parts.
Then (1360*3)/17.
= 240.
B:C = 1:4.
A:B:C = 2:3:12.
Total parts = 2+3+12+17 parts.
17 parts = 1360.
B's share is 3 parts.
Then (1360*3)/17.
= 240.

How come B is equal 1/4(X) ?

Every thing is ok but how can we calculate the 17?

To say the truth I didn't understand any of the methods. Can any one explain it clearly.
