    D) Rs. 100 Rs. 200, Rs. 380

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Suppose C gets Rs. x. Then, B gets Rs. \[\frac{x}{4}\] and A gets Rs. \[\left( \frac{2}{3}\times \frac{x}{4} \right)=\text{Rs}.\,\,\frac{x}{6}.\] \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{x}{6}+\frac{x}{4}+x=680\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[2x+3x+12x=8160\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[17x=8160\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[x=480\] \[\therefore \] A gets Rs. 80, B gets Rs. 120 and C gets Rs. 480.
