Four milkmen rented a pasture. A grazed 24 cows for 3 months, B 10 cows 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.
Choose one:
A) Rs.3250	B) Rs.3350	C) Rs.3450	D) Rs.3550	E) Rs.3650
Ratio of shares of A, B, C, D = (24 * 3) : (10 * 5) : (35 * 4) : (21 * 3)   = 72 : 50 : 140 : 63   Let total rent be Rs.x. Then, A’s share = Rs. 72x/325.   Therefore, 72x/325 = 720 =&gt; x = 720 * 325/72=
