      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let share of Y = Rs. 80x

      Share of X = 80x + (12.5% of 80x) = Rs. 90x

      Share of Z = (4/3) × 90x = Rs. 120x

      Total amount = 4860 × 3 = Rs. 14580

      So, 80x + 90x + 120x = 14580

      ⇒ 290x = 14580

      ⇒ x = 50

      So, share of Y = 80x = 80 × 50 = Rs. 4000
