Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

Let A's, B's and C's share be A, B , C respectively ...
so B= 1.2A , B= 1.25 C
A+B+C = 2449 --> B/1.2 + B + B/1.25 = 2449 ----> B(5/6 +1 +4/5) = 2449 -->> B= 0.38 x2449
So B's share = [spoiler]38% Ans A[/spoiler]
