Solution

The correct option is C ₹400
Ratio of their shares
A : B : C = 2 : 5 : 3

Let share of A , B and C be $2 x$ , $5 x$ , $3 x$ respectively

We know B gets ₹200
$\Rightarrow 5 x = 200$
$\Rightarrow x = 40$
$A's share = 2 x = 2 \times 40 = ₹ 80$
$C's share = 3 x = 3 \times 40 = ₹ 120$
So, total sum = ₹(80 + 200 + 120) = ₹400
