Question

A man gave half of his savings to his wife,three-fourth of what is left to his son and the rest to his daughter. If the daughter received dh 15000, what is the share of wife and the son.

Answer 1

See 1/4 is given to daughter and it is 15000 so son gets 3/4 that is 45000 and now wife gets half of his savings which are sum of son and daughter which is 60000 and the share of son and wife will be=60000+45000=1,05,000

Answer 2

let the total amt. be X

if half of his share is given to his wife then half is remaining =X × 1/2(1-1/2 =1/2)

nd 3/4 of remaining of to son that means = X x 1/2 x 3/4

nd to daughter rest = X × 1/2 × 1/4(as 3/4 is given to son thus 1/4 will be available to his daughter)

so, X × 1/2 × 1/4 = 15000

X = 1,20,000

amt. given to his wife nd son = 1,20,000 - 15000 = 1,05,00
