B Correct answer
Explanation

Woman's share = 3/5 * 4500 = 2700. She divides 2700 in ratio 5:4:4:3 (total 16 parts). Husband's share = 4/16 * 2700 = 1/4 * 2700 = 675.

AI explanation

The woman's initial share is 3 parts out of the total 5 parts, so she receives 3/5 of Rs. 4500, which equals Rs. 2700. She then distributes this Rs. 2700 in the ratio 5 : 4 : 4 : 3, meaning the total number of parts is 16. Her husband receives 4 parts out of these 16, so his share is calculated as 4/16 of Rs. 2700. The husband receives Rs. 675.
