A certain sum is divided among A, B and C in a manner that for
every rupee A gets, B gets 60 paise, so the ratio is 1:0.6
a/b = x/1
x=1/0.6 = 1.66
and that for every rupee B gets, C gets 55 paise. the ratio 1:0.55
If C's share in the total sum is Rs 66,
the ratio will be 1.66 : 1: 0.55
If C gets 66 B will get 66/0.55 =120
A will get 120*1.66 =199.2
199.2:120:66

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Calculations in the post by @mananth are not precisely correct.
I came to bring a correct solution.
From the problem,  =  and C = 66.
Hence, B =  = 120.
Next, from the problem  =  .
Hence, A =  = 200.
ANSWER. The share of A is 200 rupees.
Solved correctly.
Due to its nature, this problem assumes PRECISE calculations - not approximate.
