Let's denote the shares of A, B, and C as a, b, and c respectively.

From the problem, we know that:

1) a = 0.5b (A receives half as much as B)
2) b = 0.5c (B receives half as much as C)

We also know that the total amount of money is Rs.1300, so:

a + b + c = 1300

We can substitute the first two equations into the third equation to express everything in terms of c:

0.5b + b + c = 1300
0.5(0.5c) + 0.5c + c = 1300
0.25c + 0.5c + c = 1300
1.75c = 1300

Now, we can solve for c:

c = 1300 / 1.75
c = 742.857

Since we can't divide money into fractions of a rupee, we'll round this to the nearest whole number. So, C's share will be Rs.743.
