Solution(By Apex Team)
$\begin{aligned}&\text{Suppose}\\
&\text{A invests Rs. }\frac{x}{6}\text{ for }\frac{y}{6}\text{ months}\\
&\text{Then,}\\
&\text{ B invests Rs. }\frac{x}{3}\text{ for }\frac{y}{3}\text{ months }\\
&\text{ C invests }\left[x-\left(\frac{x}{6}+\frac{x}{3}\right)\right]\\
&\text { i.e., Rs. } \frac{x}{2} \text { for } y \text { months }\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}&\therefore\mathrm{A}:\mathrm{B}:\mathrm{C}\\
&=\left(\frac{x}{6}\times\frac{y}{6}\right):\left(\frac{x}{3}\times\frac{y}{3}\right):\left(\frac{x}{2}\times y\right)\\
&=\frac{1}{36}:\frac{1}{9}:\frac{1}{2}\\
&=1:4:18\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}&\text{Hence, B’s share}\\
&=\text{ Rs. }\left(4600\times\frac{4}{23}\right)\\
&=\text{ Rs. }800\end{aligned}$
