Age of younger son = 7 years
Age of elder son = 3 years more than the age of younger son
= 3 years + 7 years
= 10 years
Ratio of the ages of younger son and elder son is 10 : 7
Let the each of them get Rs x if their age would be 1 years. So younger son will get 7x and elder will get 10 x
Sum of money ( amount ) = Rs 7000
money of younger son + money of elder son = Rs 7000
7x + 10x = 7000
17x = 7000
x = 70000 / 17
Therefore.
younger son will get 7x =7 * 7000 / 17 = Rs 49000 / 17
elder son will get 10x = 70000 / 17
