Question

A, B and C rented a pasture. A put in 12 oxen for 6 months, B put in 8 oxen for 7 months and C put in 6 oxen for 8 months. If the rent of the field is Rs 396, what amount of rent was paid by A?

• A. Rs 126
• B. Rs 108
• C. Rs 162
• D. Rs 168
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rs 162

Ratio in which A, B, C paid the rent
$=(6\times 12):(8\times 7):(6\times 8)$
$72:56:48$
$=9:7:6$
Rent paid by $A=\frac{9}{22}\times Rs369=Rs162$
