A, B, C rent a pasture. A puts 10 oxen for 7 months, B puts 12 oxen for 5 months and C puts 15 oxen for 3 months for grazing. If the rent of the pasture is Rs. 175, how much must C pay as his share of rent?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
$$\eqalign{
& A:B:C \cr
& = \left( {10 \times 7} \right):\left( {12 \times 5} \right):\left( {15 \times 3} \right) \cr
& = 70:60:45 \cr
& = 14:12:9 \cr
& \therefore {\text{C's rent}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {175 \times \frac{9}{{35}}} \right) \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}45 \cr} $$
