    A)  16                 

    B)       13

    C)  14                 

    D)       15

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[A+B+C+D=60\] \[A=\frac{B+C+D}{2}\]             \[\Rightarrow \]            \[3A=60\Rightarrow A=Rs.20\]                         \[B=\frac{A+C+D}{3}\]             \[\Rightarrow \]            \[4B=60\Rightarrow B=Rs.15\]                         \[C=\frac{A+B+D}{4}\]             \[\Rightarrow \]            \[5C=60\Rightarrow B=Rs.12\]                         \[D=60-(20+15+12)=Rs.\,13\]
