    B ₹340 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ₹240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹440 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the shares of P, Q, R, and S be 4x, 9x, 2x, and 3x respectively.
    Given: Q gets ₹560 more than R
    So,
    9x - 2x = 560
    7x = 560
    x = 80

    Now, share of S = 3x = 3 × 80 = ₹240.
