The amount spent on the purchase of land = Rs. 48000
Let the total money be x
Money spent on purchase of land = 30x /100 = 0.3 x
Money left after purchasing land
= 0.7x
Money spent on house repair = (40/100 ) × 0.7x
= 0.28x
Money left after house repairs = 0.42x
Money received by his two daughters , wife each = 22400
=> 1/3 × 0.42x= 22400
=> x = Rs. 160000
Total money with the man = Rs. 160000
Money spent on land = 0.3x
= Rs. 48000
