Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. Let's assume B's share is x. According to the problem, A's share is x + 20 and C's share is (x + 20) + 20 = x + 40.

  2. The total sum of their shares is Rs. 120. So, we can set up the equation: x (B's share) + x + 20 (A's share) + x + 40 (C's share) = 120.

  3. Simplifying the equation gives: 3x + 60 = 120.

  4. Subtract 60 from both sides: 3x = 60.

  5. Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x: x = 20.

So, B's share is Rs. 20.
