(C) Let the shares of $A$,$B$,and $C$ after the decrease be $9x$,$13x$,and $8x$ respectively.According to the problem,the total amount before the decrease was $Rs. 2186$.Therefore,the equation is: $(9x + 26) + (13x + 28) + (8x + 32) = 2186$.Combining the terms: $30x + 86 = 2186$.$30x = 2186 - 86$.$30x = 2100$.$x = 2100 / 30 = 70$.The amount given to $A$ is $9x + 26$.Substituting $x = 70$: $9(70) + 26 = 630 + 26 = 656$.Thus,the amount given to $A$ is $Rs. 656$.
