B Correct answer
Explanation

Ratio A:B:C = 5:6:9. A's share is 5 parts = 450. So 1 part = 90. Total parts = 5+6+9 = 20. Total sum = 20 * 90 = 1800.

AI explanation

The total number of parts in the ratio 5 : 6 : 9 is 5 + 6 + 9 = 20. Let the value of one part be x, so A's share is 5x = 450, meaning x = 90. The total sum divided is 20x, which is 20 * 90 = Rs. 1,800.
