Explanation

Ratio 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4 = 6:4:3. Total parts = 6+4+3 = 13. C's share = (3/13) * 2600 = 3 * 200 = 600.

AI explanation

To divide the amount, first convert the given ratio of 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4 into whole numbers by multiplying by the least common multiple of 2, 3, and 4, which is 12. This gives the ratio 6 : 4 : 3, meaning the total number of parts is 6 + 4 + 3 = 13. The value of one part is 2600 / 13 = 200, so C's share of 3 parts is 3 * 200 = 600.
