Question

A man distributed his wealth aming his son, his daughter and his wife. He gave one-third to his son, two-fifths to his daughter and the remainder to his wife. If the wife share worth rupees 32,000, how much money did the man have
​

Answer 1

Answer:

120,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Son = 1/3

Daughter = 2/5

LCM= 15

So,

Son gets = 1/3= 5/15

Daughter = 2/5=6/15

Wife = 15/15 - (5/15+6/15)  [Total minus the other amounts]

       = 15/15 - 11/15

       = 4/15

So we can take that the man's wealth=x

then,

4/15x=32,000

4x=32000 x 15

4x=480,000

x= 480,000/4= 120,000
