Step-by-step explanation:

let the total amount be x..,

a/c to question.,

x/3+(x/3-1200)+3(x/3-1200)=x

taking  LCM and solving..,

we get,5x-3600-10800=3x

so,5x-3x=14400

i.e 2x=14400...x=7200

the shares are..,

a/c to question A=2400

                         B=3600

                          C=1200
