Question

A man leaves half of his property to his wife and one third of the remaining to his son and rest to his servant if servant share is 15000 how much money did the man leave

Answer 1

Let money and property men had = X

Property to his wife = 1/2 X

Property to son = 1/2X × 1/3 = 1/6 X

Money with servant = 15000

According to question

1/2 X + 1/6 X + 15000 = X

3X + X + 90000 = 6X

90000 = 2X

X = 45000
