Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

Let the total property of man

be X.

According to the question,

Elder son received 1/3 part of his property.

It means Elder son received 1/3 of X = 1/3*X = X/3.

And , Man 3/4 part of X/3 to his younger sister.

It means , He gave 3/4 of X/3 = 3/4 × X/3 = 3X/12.

According to the question,

Younger sister received rupees 480 .

It means , 3X/12 = 480 = 3X= 480*12

3X = 5760 -------(Equation )

Now find the value of X from the above equation.

=> 3x = 480 × 12

=> 3X = 5769

=> X = 5760/3

=> X = 1920

Therefore,

The property of man = X = 1920 Rupees.
