Answer»

GIVEN that AMOUNT paid by A: amount paid by B = 1 : 2

And amount paid by B: amount paid by C = 3 : 2

RATIO of amount paid by A, B and C is 3 : 6 : 4

⇒ Amount paid by A = 3k

⇒ Amount paid by B = 6k

⇒ Amount paid by C = 4K

⇒ 3k + 6k + 4k = 260

⇒ 13k = 260

⇒ k = 20

∴ Amount paid by A is 3k = 3(20) = Rs. 60
