    Three milkmen rented a pasture to graze their cows. A grazed 20 cows for 6 months, B grazed 40 cows for 4 months and C grazed 30 cows for 5 months.

    If A’s share of rent is Rs.240, then the total rent of the field is Rs.860. This means that the three milkmen paid a total of Rs.860 to rent the pasture for their cows to graze.

    In order to find out the total share of the rent, we divide the total rent by the number of cows that each milkman grazed.

    A grazed 20 cows for 6 months, so his share of rent is Rs.240. B grazed 40 cows for 4 months, so his share of rent is Rs.320. C grazed 30 cows for 5 months, so his share of rent is Rs.300.

    So the total rent of the field is Rs.860, and the three milkmen paid a total of Rs.860 to rent it.

    This math problem is about two people, A and B, who are partners in a business. They each put in different amounts of money to start the business.

    A put in Rs.6000 and B put in Rs.9000. A gets a percentage of the profit for managing the business, and the rest is divided between them in proportion to their original investments.

    So, if the business makes Rs.12000 in profit, A gets Rs.1500 and B gets Rs.6300. In order to find out the money gained by A and B, the first step is to find out how much of the Rs.12000 profit goes to A for managing the business.

    This is done by dividing Rs.12000 by 100 and multiplying it by 12 1/2 (the percentage that A gets).

    This equals Rs.1500, so that is how much A earns for managing the business. The rest of the profit, Rs.10500, is then divided between A and B in proportion to their original investments.

    This means that A gets 2/5 of the Rs.10500, or Rs.4200, and B gets 3/5 of it, or Rs.6300. So, A ends up with Rs.5700 and B with Rs.6300.

    Explanation: A's investment for 36 months = Rs.8000×36 = Rs.288000 B's investment for 36 months = Rs.10000×36 = Rs.360000 C's investment for 30 months = Rs.6000×30 = Rs.180000 A : B : C's ratio of shares = 288 : 360 : 180 = 48 : 60 : 30 = 24 : 30 : 15 Total profit = Rs.9660 A's share = 9600× 24\69 =Read more

    Explanation:

    A’s investment for 36 months = Rs.8000×36 = Rs.288000

    B’s investment for 36 months = Rs.10000×36 = Rs.360000

    C’s investment for 30 months = Rs.6000×30 = Rs.180000

    A : B : C’s ratio of shares = 288 : 360 : 180 = 48 : 60 : 30 = 24 : 30 : 15

    Total profit = Rs.9660

    A’s share = 9600× 24\69

    = 140×24 = Rs.3360

    B’s share = 9600× 30\24

    = 140×30 = Rs.4200

    C’s share = 9660× 15\24

    = 140×15 = Rs.2100

    Explanation: Let the investment of C be x Investment of B = Rs. x + 600 Investment of A = Rs. x + 1500 (x+600)+x = Rs.5100 (given) 3x+2100 = 5100 3x = 5100 - 2100 = 3000 x = 1000 A : B : C share ratio = 2500 : 1600 : 1000 = 25 : 16 : 10 A's share in the profits = 1020× 25\51 = 20×25 = Rs.500

    Explanation:

    Let the investment of C be x

    Investment of B = Rs. x + 600

    Investment of A = Rs. x + 1500

    (x+600)+x = Rs.5100 (given)

    3x+2100 = 5100

    3x = 5100 – 2100 = 3000

    x = 1000

    A : B : C share ratio = 2500 : 1600 : 1000 = 25 : 16 : 10

    A’s share in the profits = 1020× 25\51

    = 20×25 = Rs.500
