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 proportion to (number of cows × number of months).
Step 1: Calculate cow-months
- A: $11 \times 5 = 55$
- B: $9 \times 4 = 36$
- C: $15 \times 6 = 90$
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
$C = 90 \times 22 = 1980$
