When B gets 100 paise, C gets 110 paise

When B gets 90 paise, C gets

$110/100 × 90$ = 99 paise

A : B : C = 100 : 90 : 99

Sum of the ratios

= 100 + 90 + 99 = 289

B’ share

[LCM of 4, 5 and 6 = 60]

= 15 : 12 : 10

Sum of ratios = 15 + 12 + 10 = 37

C’s share

= $10/37$ × 555 = Rs.150

Case II

A : B : C = 4 : 5 : 6

Sum of ratios = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15

C’s share

= $6/15$ × 555 = Rs.222
