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: 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 |

When investments of all the partners are 'for the same time', the gain or loss or liability is distributed among the partners in the ratio of their investments.
Therefore, A's investment = 7X*10/12.
Therefore, B's investment = 5X*12/12.
Therefore, C's investment = 3X*15/12.
=> A : B : C = (7X*10/12) : (5X*12/12) : (3X*15/12).
=> A : B : C = 70X : 60X : 45X.
=> A : B : C = 70 : 60 : 45.
=> Obligation of C to pay rent = 45*175/(70+60+45) = Rs. 45.
Therefore, A's investment = 7X*10/12.
Therefore, B's investment = 5X*12/12.
Therefore, C's investment = 3X*15/12.
=> A : B : C = (7X*10/12) : (5X*12/12) : (3X*15/12).
=> A : B : C = 70X : 60X : 45X.
=> A : B : C = 70 : 60 : 45.
=> Obligation of C to pay rent = 45*175/(70+60+45) = Rs. 45.

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
(ratio of c's rent /total ratio)*total ratio thus
we get rent of c =175*9/35

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

FORMULA:
(Ratio of c's rent/Total-ratio) x Total rent
You can apply for any problem.
(Ratio of c's rent/Total-ratio) x Total rent
You can apply for any problem.

@Sangeetha.
35 is common for all ratio. Because add 3 ratios.
i.e., 14+12+9=35.

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