18 cows grazed for ₹2400 for 5 weeks

Money paid for 1 week

$\sf = \frac{2400}{18 \times 5} = \frac{80}{3}$

For gazing 20 cows for 8 weeks

$\sf = \frac{80}{3} \times (20 \times 18)$

So amount paid for gazing 20 cows for 8 weeks

$\sf = \frac{80 \times 160}{3} = \frac{12800}{3} = ₹4266.66$

Hope it helps you.....
