Question

X, Y and Z rent a grassland. If X puts 10 bulls for 8 months, Y puts 12 bulls for 4 months and Z puts 10 bulls for 4 months for grazing and the rent of the grassland is Rs. 168, then how much amount should Z pay as his share of the rent?

• A. Rs 50
• B. Rs 40
• C. Rs 45
• D. Rs 35

Answer 1

The correct option is B Rs 40

The ratio of X:Y:Z is:
= 10*8: 12*4: 10*4
= 80: 48: 40
= 10:6:5

Amount Z should pay = 168* (5/21) = 40 Rs
