Assuming there is a fourth share in same pattern:
F=first share; F/2=second; F/3=third; F/4=fourth; F/5=fifth
.
F%2B%28F%2F2%29%2B%28F%2F3%29%2B%28F%2F4%29%2B%28F%2F5%29=Rs372
%2860F%2F60%29%2B%2830F%2F60%29%2B%2820F%2F60%29%2B%2815F%2F60%29%2B%2812F%2F60%29=Rs372
%28137%2F60%29F=Rs372 Multiply each side by (60/137)
F=Rs162.92
ANSWER: The first share is Rs162.92 (if there is a fourth share)
.
Without the fourth share:
%28122%2F60%29F=Rs372 Multiply each side by 60/122
F=Rs182.95
