Answer : Option B
Explanation :
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.
