Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- Ratio of rents of A, B, C and D
$ =(18\times 4):(25\times 2):(28\times 5):(21\times 3) $
$ =72:50:140:63 $
Let the total rent be x.
Then, As share $ =\frac{72x}{(72+50+140+63)}=\frac{72x}{325} $
According to the question,
$ \frac{72x}{325}=720 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=\frac{720\times 325}{72} $
$ \therefore $ Total rent = Rs. 3250
