    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    A : B =[4xx3+[4x-\( \frac { 1 } {4 } \)x4x]x7]:[5xx3+[5x-\( \frac { 1 } { 5 } \)x5x]x7]

           

            =(12x + 21x) : (15x + 28x)

             

           = 33x :43x

           

           = 33 : 43.

     

      A's share = Rs[760x\( \frac {33 } { 76 }\)]=Rs. 330.
