Correct Answer: Rs. 540


Solution : According to the question, $\frac{A}{2}=\frac{B}{3}=\frac{C}{6}=k$
Let $A= 2k, B = 3k,$ and $C= 6k$
$\therefore$ A : B : C = 2 : 3 : 6
The sum of the terms of the ratio = 2 + 3 + 6 = 11
Total amount = Rs. 1980
$\therefore$ B’s share = Rs.$(\frac{3}{11}×1980)$ = Rs. $ 540$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 540.
