Step-by-step explanation:
savings for wife, first son, second son and daughter = 30%+25%+15%+15% = 85%
left = 100%-85% = 15%
savings for youngest son = 50% of 15% = (50/100) × 15% = 7.5%
left = 15% - 7.5% = 7.5% = savings for brother = 60000
=> 7.5% = 60,000
=> 100% = 60,000 × 100 / 7.5 = 8,00,000
savings for wife = 800000 × 30% = 2,40,000
savings for first son = 800000 × 25% = 2,00,000
savings for second son = 800000 × 15% = 1,20,000
savings for daughter = 800000 × 15% = 1,20,000
savings for youngest son = 800000 × 7.5% = 60,000
