Question

.A man leaves half his property to his wife, one-third to his son and the remaining to his
daughter. If the daughter’s share is `15,000, how much money did the man leave?

Answer 1

Answer:

`90000

Explanation:

Let the property be x.

Property to his wife = 1/2 x

Property to his son = 1/3 x

Remaining property = x - (1/2x + 1/3x) = x - 5/6x = 1/6 x

According to Question,

1/6x = `15000

x = `15000 × 6

x = `90000

Hence, the man left `90000.
