Let C's share = Rs. x
Then, B's share = Rs. \(\frac{x}{4}\) , A's share = Rs. \(\left(\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{x}{4}\right)= Rs.\frac{x}{6}
\)
Therefore \(\frac{x}{6} + \frac{x}{4}+x = 1360
\)
\(\Rightarrow\frac{17x}{12}=1360\)
\(\Rightarrow x = \frac{1360\times12}{17} = Rs .960\)
Hence, B's share = Rs. \(\left(\frac{960}{4}\right)= Rs. 240.\)
