    Four milkmen rented a pasture. A grazed 18 cows for 4 months, B 25 cows for 2 months, C 28 cows for 5 months and D 21 cows for 3 months. If A's share of rent is Rs. 360, the total rent of the field is

    A) Rs. 1500

    B) Rs. 1600

    C) Rs. 1625

    D) Rs. 1650

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Ratio of rents \[=(18\times 4):(25\times 2):(28\times 5):(21\times 3)\] = 72 : 50 : 140 : 63 Let the total rent be Rs. x Then, A's share \[=\text{Rs}.\,\left( x\times \frac{72}{325} \right)\] \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{72x}{325}=360\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=\frac{360\times 325}{72}=1625\] Hence, the total rent is Rs. 1625.
