Partnership
9.
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?
Rs. 45
Rs. 50
Rs. 55
Rs. 60
Answer: Option
Explanation:

A : B : C = (10 x 7) : (12 x 5) : (15 x 3) = 70 : 60 : 45 = 14 : 12 : 9.

C's rent = Rs. 175 x 9 = Rs. 45.
35

10*7 + 12*5 + 15*3 = 175.
70 + 60 + 45 = 175.
C share = 45.

c =9 is part out of ( total part of a,b,c =9+12+14).

Hence c's shares=( 9/35)* total reng of the pasture.
-->> c'shares = (9/35)*175 ==>45 Rs.

VIVEK said:   1 decade ago
FORMULA:

(Ratio of c's rent/Total-ratio) x Total rent

You can apply for any problem.

Hi its just like this and simple when we want to remove the ratio we should add all the number were eg here 14/35,12/35,9/35 thus our formula says

(ratio of c's rent /total ratio)*total ratio thus

we get rent of c =175*9/35
