Solution

The correct option is C Rs. 780
Let B share =x
C share =x25%of x =0.75x
A share =25% more than c=0.75x+25
Sum of dividend =2236
A+B+C=2236
x+0.75x+0.74x=2236
2.69x=2236
x=831
A share =0.94x=0.94x1330=Rs780
Alternatively,
Let B share is =100
then C share will be =100(25
so, As share =75+(25
Total =100+75+93.75=268.75
Now, if Total Amount is Rs.268.75 then A's share =93.5
If total amount is Re. 1 then A 's share is = 93.75/268.75
If total amount is Rs. 2236 then A s share is =93.75/268.752236=Rs.780
