Question

A man's property of ₹200000 was divided between his wife and his son such that his wife got thrice as his son. Find the wife's share?



Kindly give Step by Step solution:)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the son's share be x

So, wife's share is thrice of sun I. e; 3 X x = 3x

Total sum = 200000

So, according to the question

x + 3x = 4x

4x = 200000

x = 50000

Wife's share = 3 * 50,000

= 1,50,000.........
