We present a new input parameter set of the Pagel model (Pagel & Tautvais˘iene˙ 1998) for the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in order to reproduce the observations, including the star formation rate (SFR) history. It is concluded that the probability for (3-8)M⊙ stars to explode as SNe Ia has to be quite high (∼0.17) in the LMC. As a result, a steep initial mass function (IMF) slope and existence of the outflow are not needed in order to attain the low [O/Fe] ratio in the LMC. As for the current supernova ratio, a high ratio (∼1.3) is concluded by the new parameter set, which is consistent with the recent X-ray observations.
