C Correct answer
Explanation

Total parts = 4+5+6 = 15 parts. Each part = Rs. 1000/15 = Rs. 66.67. Tara's share = 4 × 66.67 = Rs. 266.67. Tina's share = 6 × 66.67 = Rs. 400. Difference = 400 - 266.67 = Rs. 133.33. The key is setting up the ratio correctly and calculating individual shares before finding the difference.
