Option<\/td>600 cows<\/td>correct<\/td><\/tr>
Option<\/td>300 cows<\/td>incorrect<\/td><\/tr>
Option<\/td>520 cows<\/td>incorrect<\/td><\/tr>
Solution<\/td>Let Mahesh’s cow (C1) = 200 cows, and time spend T1 = 8 months
Suresh’s cow (C2) = y cows, and time spend T2 = 4 months
Let the profit of Mahesh = x
Then the profit of Suresh = 1(1\/2)*x
Apply profit ratio formula:
(C1 * T1)\/ (C2 * T2) = p1\/p2
(200 * 8)\/ (y*4) = (x\/ (3x\/2))
400\/y = 2x\/3x
400\/y = 2\/3
y = (400*3)\/2
y= 600
Hence, Suresh can put 600 cows for the remaining 4 months.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
