A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

Understanding the Rent Distribution

The total rent for the house for one year is ₹ 14184. This means the monthly rent is calculated as:

Monthly Rent = $ \frac{₹ 14184}{12 \text{ months}} = ₹ 1182 $ per month.

The problem describes three distinct periods based on who occupied the house:

  • Period 1: First 4 months (Ramesh, Mahesh, and Suresh were together).
  • Period 2: The next 5 months (Mahesh left, Ramesh and Suresh remained).
  • Period 3: The last 3 months of the year (Suresh also left, only Ramesh remained).

Calculating Individual Rent Shares

The rent is distributed based on these periods and the number of people present.

Period 1: First 4 months

During these 4 months, all three shared the house. The monthly rent of ₹ 1182 was divided equally among them.

  • Rent per person per month = $ \frac{₹ 1182}{3} = ₹ 394 $.
  • Total rent paid by each (Ramesh, Mahesh, Suresh) in this period = $ 4 \text{ months} \times ₹ 394/\text{month} = ₹ 1576 $.

Period 2: Next 5 months

Mahesh left. The rent for these 5 months was ₹ $ 5 \times 1182 = ₹ 5910 $. This amount was split equally between Ramesh and Suresh.

  • Rent per person (Ramesh, Suresh) for this phase = $ \frac{₹ 5910}{2} = ₹ 2955 $.

Period 3: Last 3 months

Suresh also left. Ramesh was alone in the house. The rent for these 3 months was ₹ $ 3 \times 1182 = ₹ 3546 $. Ramesh paid the entire amount.

  • Ramesh's rent for this phase = ₹ 3546.

Total Rent Paid by Each Person:

  • Ramesh's Total Rent: ₹ 1576 (Period 1) + ₹ 2955 (Period 2) + ₹ 3546 (Period 3) = ₹ 8077.
  • Mahesh's Total Rent: ₹ 1576 (Period 1 only) = ₹ 1576.
  • Suresh's Total Rent: ₹ 1576 (Period 1) + ₹ 2955 (Period 2) = ₹ 4531.

The sum of their rents is ₹ $ 8077 + ₹ 1576 + ₹ 4531 = ₹ 14184 $, which matches the total rent.

Calculating 50% of Total Rent

50% of the total rent is:

$ 0.50 \times ₹ 14184 = ₹ 7092 $.

Matching List - I with List - II

Based on the calculations:

  • A. Rent paid by Ramesh = ₹ 8077 (Matches List-II item III).
  • B. Rent paid by Mahesh = ₹ 1576 (Matches List-II item I).
  • C. Rent paid by Suresh = ₹ 4531 (Matches List-II item IV).
  • D. 50% of total rent = ₹ 7092 (Matches List-II item II).

Therefore, the correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
