A Correct answer
Explanation

Ratio of amounts is 15:2:3. Let amounts be 15x, 2x, 3x (total = 20x = 8000, so x = 400). A gets 6000 in Rs 500 notes = 6000/500 = 12 notes. B gets 800 in Rs 200 notes = 800/200 = 4 notes. C gets 1200 in Rs 100 notes = 1200/100 = 12 notes. Ratio of notes = 12:4:12 = 3:1:3.
