Four farmers rented a pasture. K grazed 20 goats for 2 months, L grazed 15 goats for 4 months, M 35 goats for 2 months, and N 24 goats for 5 months. If K's share of rent is Rs. 580, find the total rent of the field?

Rs. 4205

Rs. 5402

Rs. 5240

Rs. 4520

Explanation:

Ratio of shares of K,L,M,N = (20×2) : (15×4) : (35×2) : (24×5)
= 40 : 60 : 70 : 120
= 4 : 6 : 7 : 12
Let total rent be Rs. x. then,
K's share = Rs. 4x /29
4x/29 = 580
x = (29×580)/4
x = 4205
hence, total rent of the field is Rs. 4205
