$\begin{aligned}&A:B\\ &=\left[4x\times3+\left(4x-\frac{1}{4}\times4x\right)\times7\right]:\left[5x\times3+\left(5x-\frac{1}{5}\times5x\right)\times7\right]\\ &=(12x+21x):(15x+28x)\\ &=33x:43x=33:43\\ &\therefore\text{ A’s share }=\text{ Rs. }\left(760\times\frac{33}{76}\right)\\ &\quad=\text{ Rs. }330\end{aligned}$
