let x = amount of work

a completes 4x work
b completes 3x work
c completes 2x work

Combining it will take 8/3 days to finish the job

so 8/3*2340 =780*8

C share =780*8/12=520

share in the profit will be same as work done=1/6:1/8:1/12=8:6:4=4:3:2

so share of c=2340*(2/9)=260*2=520

Ans option B
