A) s . 300	B) s . 360	C) s . 389	D) s . 368	E) s . 372

Rationale: ( a = 2 / 3 b and b = 1 / 4 c ) = a / b = 2 / 3 and b / c = 1 / 4 a : b = 2 : 3 and b : c = 1 : 4 = 3 : 12 a : b : c = 2 : 3 : 12 a ; s share = 527 * 2 / 17 = rs . 62 b ' s share = 527 * 3 / 17 = rs . 93 c ' s share = 527 * 12 / 17 = rs . 372 . answer : e
