    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    \(\frac { 4 } { 15 } \) A  =  \(\frac { 2 } { 5 } \) B 

     

      A =[\(\frac { 2 } { 5 } \) x\(\frac { 15 } { 4} \)]B

     

     A  = \(\frac {3 } { 2} \) B 

     

     \(\frac {A } { B} \) =\(\frac {3 } { 2} \)

     

     A : B = 3 : 2

     

     B's share = Rs[1210 x \(\frac { 2 } { 5 } \)] = Rs. 484
