    Solution

    ATQ, Let the amounts received by J, K, and L be Rs. 8x, Rs. 6x, and Rs. 11x respectively.
    Amount received by J and K = 3300 × (8 + 6) ÷ (8 + 6 + 11) = 3300 × 14 ÷ 25 = Rs. 1848
    Amount received by K and L = 3300 × (6 + 11) ÷ 25 = 3300 × 17 ÷ 25 = Rs. 2244
    Required difference = 2244 - 1848 = Rs. 396
