Question 13

A and B rent a pasture for 10 months; A puts in 80 cows for 7 months. How many can B put in for the remaining 3 months, if he pays half as much again as A?

Solution

It is given that B pays 1.5 times that of A

Let B put N number of cows for 3 month

$$\frac{Money\ paid\ by\ B}{Money\ paid\ by\ A}=\ \frac{3}{2}\ =\ \frac{3\times\ N}{80\times\ 7}$$

$$N=280$$
