    A got 243 tk

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Supose the amount C got was "x"

    12 times B's share is 6 times C's share, that would be:

    B = 6x

    Also, 8 times A's share is 12 times B's share, that would be:

    8A = 12B

    8A = 12 (6x)

    8A = 72x

    A = 72x/8

    A = 9x

    Now, we can say:

    A = 9x

    B = 6x

    C = x

    We know total is 432, thus we can write and solve for x first:

    A + B + C = 432

    9x + 6x + x = 432

    16x = 432

    x = 432/16

    x = 27

    A got "9x", so plugging in x = 27, we know:

    A got 9*27 = 243 tk
