Correct Answer: Rs. 192
Solution : Let A's share as a, B's share as b, and C's share as c. Given that 8 times A's share is equal to 12 times B's share and also equal to 6 times C's share, $8a = 12b = 6c$ $ \frac{1}{3}a = \frac{1}{2}b = \frac{1}{4}c$ ____(i) Also, we know that the total amount of Rs. 864 is divided among A, B, and C. $a + b + c = 864$ ____(ii) Substituting a and c from the equation (i) in (ii), $\frac{3}{2}b + b + 2b = 864$ ⇒ $\frac{3}{2}b + 3b = 864$ ⇒ $3b+6b=1728$ ⇒ $9b=1728$ ⇒ $b=192$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 192
