Let the shares of A, B and C be a, b and c respectively.   a : b : c = 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4   Let us express each term with a common denominator which is the last number divisible by the denominators of each term i.e., 12.   a : b : c = 6/12 : 4/12 : 3/12 = 6 : 4 : 3.   Share of C = 3/13 * 1560 = Rs. 360.   Answer: 277
