    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Distance covered in the ratio T: B: C = 4: 3: 2
    Fair ratio per km. T: B: C = 1: 2: 4
    So, the ratio of total fair T: B: C = 4: 6: 8

    Sum of the ratio of total fair = 18
    But ATQ, it is 720, so multiply 18 by 40.
    Now, multiply each and every ratio with 40.
    The total expenditure as fair on a train = 4*40=160
