Question

A father divides his property among his three sons in the ratio 1 : 2/3: 3/4. find the share of each son if the total property of the father is rs.70,000

Answer 1

Let the total property be equal to 1
If A is given 1/3rd of the property the remaining left is 2/3rd

B gets 2/5 of the remaining which means B's share is 2/3x2/5=4/15

So the property left for C and D is= 1- 1/3-4/15 = 15-5-4/15= 6/15

As C and D share the remaining property equally their share will be 3/15 each.
