Solution(By Apex Team)
$\begin{array}{l}\text{Given share of }2^{\text{nd}}\\
=\frac{5}{13}\mathrm{of}\left(1^{\mathrm{st}}+3^{\mathrm{rd}}\right)\\
\text{ or, }\frac{2^{\text{nd }}}{1^{\text{st }}+3^{\text{rd }}}=\frac{5}{13}\\
\therefore1^{\text{st }}+2^{\text{nd }}+3^{\text{rd }}=13+5=18\\
\because\text{ 18units }=1620\\
\therefore1\text{ unit }=\frac{1620}{18}\\
\therefore5\text{ units }=\frac{1620}{18}\times5\\
=450\\
\text{Hence share of 2}^{\text{nd}}\ =\ \text{Rs.}\ 450\end{array}$
