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. |

B share = 1360/4 = 240.

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.

HOW 17 COMES?
All explanations did explain clearly how 17 come, ok 12 is the LCM of 6 and 4 down, but up there x+x+X so it turns to 17 x.

A +B + C =1360.............(eq1)
A = 2/3 B.............(eq2)
B =1/4 C...............(eq3).
So, simplify C in terms of B bcz we have to find B's share.
;C =4B.
Now put this values in eq 1.
2/3B +B + 4B =1360,
On taking l.c.m.
2B +3B+ 12B =4080,
17 B = 4080,
B =4080/17,
B =240.
A = 2/3 B.............(eq2)
B =1/4 C...............(eq3).
So, simplify C in terms of B bcz we have to find B's share.

2B +3B+ 12B =4080,
17 B = 4080,
B =4080/17,
B =240.

Take lcm of 2,3,5,4 = 60,
Now c get 60,
B get 1/4 of b 1/4*60=15.
A get 2/3 of b get 2/3*15=10,
Now the ratio of a b c is 2:3:12,
Then B share is 3/17*1360=240.
Now c get 60,
B get 1/4 of b 1/4*60=15.
A get 2/3 of b get 2/3*15=10,
Now the ratio of a b c is 2:3:12,
Then B share is 3/17*1360=240.
