a) Rs. 2840
b) Rs. 4028
c) Rs. 4280
d) Rs. 4820

Answer: c
Explanation: Let C’s capital be Rs. x
A : B : C = 2560 : 2000 : x
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{A’s share}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {1105 \times \frac{{2560}}{{4560 + x}}} \right) \cr & \therefore 1105 \times \frac{{2560}}{{4560 + x}} = 320 \cr & 320x + 1459200 = 2828800 \cr & 320x = 1369600 \cr & x = 4280 \cr} $$
