Explanation

Let A:B:C = 13:34:71. C gives Rs. 472 to D, increasing D's money by 20%, so D's original amount = 472 ÷ 0.2 = 2360, and new amount = 2832. Given D:B = 59:77, and D = 2832, we find B = 3696. Using A:B = 13:34, A = (13/34) × 3696 ≈ 2002. The calculation involves setting up ratio equations and solving step-by-step.
