Let n be the common factor which determines the worker's shares. Then the ratios are:
8A=12B
12B=6C
8A=12B=6C
26n=432
n=16.615
A got 8 x 16.615=132.92 Rs.. ☺☺☺☺

I gave you more than A's share so you can do the check!

I don't know how these people who respond and who say they're trying to help come up with these RIDICULOUS answers. 

I feel sorry for some of these people who ask for help.
