Question

A man has 3 daughters, 2 sons and a wife. He wills his estate among them such that each daughter will get 50% more than a son, and the mother will get twice as much as a daughter. How many million dollars more will the wife get than a son and a daughter together, if the estate was worth $ 95 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let amount received by 3 sons as x, then amount received by 2 daughters will be 1.5 times the amount received by each son i.e., 1.5x and amount received by wife is 600 less than each son i.e. x - 600. Amount received by three sons = 3x = (2800) = Rs. 8400.
