C Correct answer
Explanation

Let chocolates be 5x, 10x, 2x = 68 total. So 17x = 68, x = 4. Chocolates: 20, 40, 8. Price ratios 2:3:5. Let prices be 2y, 3y, 5y per chocolate. Total cost: 20×2y + 40×3y + 8×5y = 40y + 120y + 40y = 200y = Rs 400. So y = 2. Individual costs: Variety 1: 40y = 40×2 = Rs 80. Variety 2: 120y = 120×2 = Rs 240. Variety 3: 40y = 40×2 = Rs 80. Option C (80, 240, 80) matches.
