A, B and C hired a car for Rs 1,560. A used it for 3 hours, B for 4 hours and C for 5 hours. What was A’s share of the rent?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Rs 390
A shared hire charge is split in the ratio of the time each person used the car.
A : B : C \(=3:4:5\), total 12 parts
One part \(\displaystyle =\frac{1560}{12}=\) Rs 130
A’s share \(=3\times130=\) Rs 390
A’s share of the rent was Rs 390.
