Solution(By Apex Team)
$\begin{array}{l}\text{A}:\mathrm{B}:\mathrm{C}:\mathrm{D}\\
=15\times4:12\times2:18\times6:16\times5\\
=60:24:108:80\\
=15:6:27:20\end{array}$
$\begin{aligned}&\text{Let the total rent be Rs. x}\\
&\text{Then,}\\
&\text{ A’s share }=\text{ Rs. }\left(\frac{15x}{68}\right)\\
&\therefore\frac{15x}{68}=1020\\
&\Rightarrow x=\left(\frac{1020\times68}{15}\right)\\
&\Rightarrow x=4624\\
&\text{Hence,}\ \text{C’s share}\\
&=\text{Rs.}\ \left(4624\times\frac{27}{68}\right)\\
&=\text{Rs.}\ 1836\end{aligned}$
