Question

. 4. A man left one-fourth of his property to his son and daughter and the rest to his wife. His
wife gave away one-third of her share to charity. If she donated 10,000 to charity, find
how much property did the man leave ?​

Answer 1

40,000

Solution:

Money donated by woman = 10,000

1/3 of her share = 10,000

Her share = 10,000×3 = 30,000

Prop given to children = 1/4 of man's prop

Prop given to woman = 3/4 of man's property = 30,000

Man's property = 30,000×4/3 = 40000
