    A) Rs. 60

    B)  Rs. 80

    C)  Rs. 70

    D)  Rs. 40

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Number of cows put by Birbal for 1 month \[=4\times 10=40\] Number of cows put by Hasan for 1 month\[=5\times 12=60\] Number of cows put by Moti for 1 month \[=3\times 15=45\] Ratio = 40 : 60 : 45 =  8 : 12 : 9 Sum of ratios \[=8+12+9=29\] and difference in ratios of Hasan and Moti\[=12-9=3\] \[\therefore \]Difference in shares of rent of Hasan and Moti \[=\frac{3\times 580}{29}\] = Rs. 60
