Three individuals, A, B, and C, share the rent of a pasture amounting to Rs. 870. A keeps 12 horses for 8 months, B keeps 16 horses for 9 months, and C keeps 18 horses for 6 months. What portion of the rent should C contribute?

Explanation

The rent is divided based on the product of the number of horses and the duration they are kept. Calculating: A = 12 × 8 = 96, B = 16 × 9 = 144, C = 18 × 6 = 108. The total is 96 + 144 + 108 = 348. C's share is 108/348 of Rs. 870, which equals Rs. 270.
