Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Rs.4,240.
The ratio of the shares of A and B = (3 : 5) × 4 = 12 : 20
The ratio of the shares of A and C = (4 : 7) × 3 = 12 : 21
A : B : C = 12 : 20 : 21
According to the question,
12 + 20 + 21 = 11,236
53 = 11236
1 = 212
So, the share of B = 20 × 212 = 4240
