    Explanation

    Let first user is A, Second is B, and third is C. Since, the first uses it to graze 25 sheep for 5 months; the second uses it to graze 15 sheep for 7 months and the third 37 sheep for 5 months. Ratio of shares of A, B and C = Ratio of their rents = [(25 × 5) : (15 × 7) : (37 × 5)] = 125: 105: 185 = 25: 21: 37 Given: Rent of pasture= Rs. 1328 ∴ A’s share of rent = Rs. (25/83) × 1328 = Rs. 400.
