D Correct answer
Explanation

Let shares be 3x, 5x, 7x. Given 7x - 3x = 1600 => 4x = 1600 => x = 400. B's share = 5x = 5 * 400 = 2000.

AI explanation

Let the shares of A, B, and C be 3x, 5x, and 7x respectively. The difference between C's share and A's share is 7x minus 3x, which equals 4x. Since this difference is Rs. 1600, 4x equals 1600, meaning x equals 400. B's share is 5x, so 5 multiplied by 400 gives Rs. 2000.
