Three milkmen rented a pasture, sharing the rent based on their individual use. A grazed 11 cows for 5 months, B grazed 9 cows for 4 months and C grazed 15 cows for 6 months. If A's share of rent is ₹1210, then C's share in (₹) will be:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 1980
The rent is shared in the ratio of the use each man makes of the pasture, measured in cow-months (number of cows × number of months).
A: \(11\times5=55\), B: \(9\times4=36\), C: \(15\times6=90\) cow-months
A’s 55 cow-months cost ₹1210, so one cow-month costs \(1210\div55=22\)
C’s share \(=90\times22=1980\)
