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 |

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.

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