AI explanation

The given ratio is 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4. To simplify this fractional ratio, multiply each term by the least common multiple of the denominators, which is 12. The ratio becomes 6 : 4 : 3, meaning there are 13 total parts. Since B represents 4 out of these 13 parts, B's share is 4/13 of the total Rs. 7800, which calculates to Rs. 2400.
