Back to paper

Two individuals, P and Q, rent a pasture. P uses 12 cows for a duration of 5 months and 18 sheep for 3 months, while Q uses 25 sheep for 6 months. If 5 cows are equivalent to 10 sheep, determine P’s portion of the rent.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 295429\over 54.

Given, 5 cows = 10 sheep

⇒ 1 C = 2 S

                          P                    :             Q

⇒ (12 C × 5) + (18S × 3)      :      (25S × 6) 

⇒              60C + 54S             :     150S

⇒           60 × 2 + 54S            :     150S

⇒                   174S                 :     150S

⇒                    29                     :      25

P’s portion of the rent = 29(29+25)29\over (29+25) = 295429\over 54
