Correct Answer: INR 100


Solution : Let the shares of A, B, and C as $3x, 2x$, and $5x$, respectively.
The share of C is INR 300 more than B.
So, $5x = 2x + 300$
⇒ $3x = 300$
⇒ $x = 100$
Therefore, the shares of A, B, and C are 300, 200, and 500, respectively.
So, A will get INR 100 more than B.
Hence, the correct answer is INR 100.
