A man divides his property so that his son’s share to his wife’s and wife’s share to his daughter’s are
both as in the ratio 3 : 1. If the daughter gets ₹ 10,000 less than son, the value (in rupees) of the whole property is
-
- ₹ 16,250
- ₹ 16,000
- ₹ 18,250
- ₹ 17,000
Correct Option: A
Son : wife = 3 : 1 = 9 : 3
Wife : daughter = 3 : 1
∴ Son : wife : daughter
= 9 : 3 : 1
Sum of ratios = 9 + 3 + 1 = 13
If total wealth be ₹ x, then
Son’s share – daughter’s share = ₹ 10,000
| ⇒ | − | = 10,000 | ||
| 13 | 13 |
| ⇒ C’s share = | = 10,000 | |
| 13 |
⇒ 8x = 13,00,00
| ⇒ x = | = ₹ 16250 | |
| 8 |
