    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Let C's share = Rs. x

     

    Then, B's share = Rs.\(\frac { X } { 4},\)

    A's share = Rs.\([\frac { 2 } { 3 } \)*\(\frac { X } { 4}\)]=Rs.\(\frac {X } {6 } \)

     

    \(\frac {X } {6 } \)+\(\frac { X } { 4}\)x = 1360

        \( \frac { 17X } { 12 }=1360\)

          x =\(\frac { 1360*12 } { 17 }\)= Rs. 960

    Hence, B's share = Rs\( (\frac { 960 } { 4 } )\)= Rs. 240
