Solution

Finding the amount of money on $A, B a n d C$
Let the ratio be $3 x : 5 x : 12 x$
According to the question,
$3 x + 5 x + 12 x = 7400 \Rightarrow 20 x = 7400 \Rightarrow x = \frac{7400}{20} \Rightarrow x = 370$
Therefore,
$A = 3 x = 3 \times 370 = ₹ 1, 110 B = 5 x = 5 \times 370 = ₹ 1, 850 C = 12 x = 12 \times 370 = ₹ 4, 440$
Hence, $A, B a n d C$ have $₹ 1, 110, ₹ 1, 850 a n d ₹ 4, 440$ respectively.
