    A : B = 3 : 7
    B : C = 6 : 5
    A : B : C = 3×6 : 7×6 : 7×5
    = 18 : 42 : 35
    Sum of the ratios
    = 18 + 42 + 35 = 95
    ∴  B’s share

    = ₹
    42
    × 33630 = ₹ 14868
    95

    Correct Option: A

    A : B = 3 : 7
    B : C = 6 : 5
    A : B : C = 3×6 : 7×6 : 7×5
    = 18 : 42 : 35
    Sum of the ratios
    = 18 + 42 + 35 = 95
    ∴  B’s share

    = ₹

    4

    ⇒  A : B = 1 : 4
    B : C = 1 : 2 = 4 : 8
    ∴ A : B : C = 1:4: 8
    Second Method :
    A : B= 1 : 4, B : C = 1 : 2
    A : B : C= 1 × 1 : 4 × 1 : 4 × 2

    ⇒  A : B = 1 : 4
    B : C = 1 : 2 = 4 : 8
    ∴ A : B : C = 1:4: 8
    Second Method :
    A : B= 1 : 4, B : C = 1 : 2
    A : B : C= 1 × 1 : 4 × 1 : 4 × 2
