Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Ratio of shares of A, B, C and D
$ =(12\times 5):(20\times 6):(15\times 5):(30\times 6) $
$ =60:120:75:180=4:8:5:12 $
Let the total rent for the parking place be Rs. x.
As, share $ =\frac{4x}{29} $
$ \therefore $ $ \frac{4x}{29}=2400 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=\frac{2400\times 29}{4}=17400 $
