Answer 1

Answer:

Now, share of wife = Rs. 45,000

and share of son = Rs. 30,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total money of the man be Rs. x.

Money got by wife = Rs. 2x

Money got by son = Rs. 3x

Money got by daughter = Rs. 15,000

x−(2x+3x)=15000⟹66x−3x−2x=15000⟹6x=15000

x=90,000

Therefore, total money that man leaves is Rs. 90,000.

Now, share of wife Rs. 2x = Rs 290000 = Rs. 45,000.

and share of son = Rs. 3x = Rs 390000 = Rs. 30,000.
