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: |
798 1980 990 1485 |
1980 |
The correct answer is Option (2) → 1980 The rent is shared in proportion to (number of cows × number of months). Step 1: Calculate cow-months
Step 2: Ratio of shares $A : B : C = 55 : 36 : 90$ Step 3: Find value of one ratio unit A’s share = ₹1210 corresponds to 55 units. $1 \text{ unit} = \frac{1210}{55} = 22$ Step 4: Find C’s share $C = 90 \times 22 = 1980$ |
