• B. Rs. $328$
• C. Rs. $296$
• D. Rs. $286$

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rs. $288$

Let the share of A, B and C be $5x,7x$ and $13x$ respectively.
According to the question,
$5x+7x+13x=1200$
$25x=1200$
x =$\frac{1200}{25}$=$48$
Difference in the share of B and C = $13x-7x=6x$
=$6\times 48$ = Rs. $288$
