a sum of 1360 has been divided among A ,B ,C such that A gets 2/3 of what B gets and B gets 1/4 of what C gets . B's share is ?

• Let's assume C gets X rs. So B would get (1/4)X rs and A would get 2/3 of B i.e. 2/3 of 1/4 which is (2/3)*(1/4) = (1/6)X. Add them all and take X common. X (1 + 1/4 + 1/6) = 1360. Therefore X = 960 and B's share is (1/4)X i.e. 960/4 = 240.

• A:B:C = 2:3:12, B's share = 3/17 * 1360 = 240 Rs.

• A=(2/3)B ; B=(1/4)C ~ C=4B
  by problem statement,
  A+B+C=1360
  Putting value of A&C in term B
  We get
  B=249

• a=2/3 b ,b=1/4 c ..then
  a=2/3 b & c=4b so
  2/3b+b+4b=1360
  17b=1360*3 so b=240

• b+4b+2/3 b=1360;b=240
