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. |

Lets we do this problem in ratio method.
Given B gets 1/4 what of what c gets & A gets 2/3 of what B gets,
Lets c gets x, then B = x/4, then a gets 2/3(x/4) = x/6.
Hence A: B: C = x/6 : x/4 : x.
Hence A: B: C: = 2:3:12.
There fore the share of B is 3/17(1360) = 240.
Given B gets 1/4 what of what c gets & A gets 2/3 of what B gets,
Lets c gets x, then B = x/4, then a gets 2/3(x/4) = x/6.
Hence A: B: C = x/6 : x/4 : x.
Hence A: B: C: = 2:3:12.
There fore the share of B is 3/17(1360) = 240.

2 + 3 + 12 = 17,
Now we need value of B,
So, 3/17 * 1360=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.

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

a + b + c = 1360,
a : b = 2 : 3,
b : c = 1 * 3 : 4 * 3 = 3 : 12.
So, 2 + 3 + 12 = 17.
then, 1360/17 = 80.
80 * 3 = 240.
a : b = 2 : 3,
b : c = 1 * 3 : 4 * 3 = 3 : 12.
So, 2 + 3 + 12 = 17.
then, 1360/17 = 80.
80 * 3 = 240.

A = 2/3 of what B gets
B = 1/4 if what C gets.
Lets 3 and 4 LCM = 12.
Then,
If C= 12 , B= 1/4 * 12=3, A=2/3 * 3 = 2.
So that,
A = 2 ,
B = 3
C = 12
A + B + C = 2 + 3 + 12 = 17.
17 unit = 1360.
1 unit = 1360/17 = 80.
According to question B's Share = 3 * 80 = 240.
B = 1/4 if what C gets.
Lets 3 and 4 LCM = 12.
Then,
If C= 12 , B= 1/4 * 12=3, A=2/3 * 3 = 2.
So that,
A = 2 ,
B = 3
C = 12
A + B + C = 2 + 3 + 12 = 17.
17 unit = 1360.
1 unit = 1360/17 = 80.
According to question B's Share = 3 * 80 = 240.
