C's share = 560 which is 35/200 of total sum.
Total sum be x

(35/200) * x =560

x=3200 Rs.

Let x = rupees divided among b and c
Given
x * 35/100=560
x*65/100=560*65/35
=> x = 1040

1040+ 560 = 1600

and from the question we can say that a gets double of share which b and c together gets

=> a's share is 3200
