A, B, C rent a pasture. A puts 10 oxen for 7 months, B puts 12 oxen for 5 months and C puts 15 oxen for 3 months for grazing. If the rent of the pasture is Rs. 175, how much must C pay as his share of rent?

A Rs. 45

B Rs. 50

C Rs. 55

D Rs. 60

ANS:A - Rs. 45

A : B : C = (10 x 7) : (12 x 5) : (15 x 3) = 70 : 60 : 45 = 14 : 12 : 9.

 C's rent = Rs. 175 x 9 = Rs. 45.
