Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 200000

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Amount = x = 2400000

1/2 of it is used to buy a small flat = 1/2 x

Remaining = 1/2 x

1/2 of the remaining part is kept in bank

$= \frac{1}{2} x \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4} x$

1/2 of the remaining part is kept in bank = 1/4 x

$\frac{1}{2} x + \frac{1}{4} x + y = x$

where y is the amount distributed among children

$y = \frac{1}{4} x$

Remaining is distributed among children = 1/4 x = 2400000/4 = 600000

Share for each children =1/12x (or) 600000/3 =Rs. 200000
