Ans shld be $224
If Bala had 5 units at first and only paid 1 unit, how is that half...
You have a big misconception from the ans u gave. 1/2 of his share does not mean 1/2 in the 2nd ratio u gave. 3:4 is the ratio of A:C. They should not be combined with the 0.5 like that. If you multiplied the ratio by 5, B should have paid 2.5. The rest of the 2.5 was shared between A and C. Therefore amt A and C paid in total would be 5 units ×2 + 2.5units= 12.5units. 12.5 units would then be represented by the ratio 3:4.
Thus, there is no point multiplying the ratio. As it would make the numbers big and complicate the question. If you dont understand, look at the solution given in the comment by the other person or the one i wrote out.
