The problem of who [should pay / to pay ] for something~

0Which sentence is 'grammatically' right?02br
02br
00ex1) The problem of who should pay for something02br
02br
00ex2) The problem of who to pay for something~02br
02br
00I think we can use both sentences.02br
02br
00The explanation in my workbook says that the sencone one is wrong because when the question word is 'who', we can not say who + to infinitive?!02br
02br
00I know, the second one('who to pay for something') sounds somewhat strange even to ME. 02br
02br
00But, how can we say that the second one is 'grammatically' wrong?0-
