  4. Rs. 75

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rs. 60

Explanation: ✅ Correct Answer: A. Rs. 60 📚 Explanation: Let 1/2 A = 2/3 B = 3/4 C = k. This gives A = 2k, B = 1.5k, and C = 1.33k. The sum (2 + 1.5 + 1.33)k is approximately 4.83k = 145. Solving this gives k = 30. Therefore, A's share is 2 * 30, which equals exactly Rs. 60. This is a common proportional division problem.
