Given:

Share of A : Share of (B + C) = 5 : 9

Share of C : Share of (A + B) = 3 : 7

A + B + C = 7560

Calculation:

A : (B + C) = 5 : 9 and C : (A + B) = 3 : 7

A + B + C = 7560

Let the share of A = 5x and B + C = 9x 

⇒ 5x + 9x = 7560

⇒ x = 7560/14 = 540

So, the share of A = 5 × 540 = 2700

And (B + C) = 9 × 540 = 4860      -----(1)

Similarly, Let the share of C = 3x and (A + B) = 7x

⇒ 3x + 7x = 7560

⇒ x = 7560/10 = 756

So, the share of C = 3 × 756 = 2268

Put the value of C in equation (1)

⇒ B + 2268 = 4860

⇒ B = 4860 - 2268 = 2592

Hence, the share of B is Rs.2592.
