Answer 1

Answer:

Total money : 240000

Wife's share : 80000

Son's share : 120000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the man's total property be x.

Then, he leaves x/2 for his son, x/3 to his wife and the rest to his daughter.

x = x/2 + x/3 + 40000

6x = 3x + 2x + 240000

x = 240000

Wife's share = 240000/3 = 80000

Son's share = 240000/2 = 120000
