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