Four milkmen rented a pasture. A grazed 24 cows for 3 months; B 10 for 5 months; C 35 cows for 4 months and D 21 cows for 3 months. If A's share of rent is Rs. 720, find the total rent of the field.

Answer»

Ratio of shares of A, B, C, D = (24 x 3) : (10 x 5) : (35 x 4) : (21 x 3) = 72 : 50 : 140 : 63. 

Let total rent be Rs. x.

Then, A’s share = Rs. (72x)/325 (72x)/325=720 

x=(720 x 325)/72 = 3250 

Hence, total rent of the field is Rs. 3250.
