Question

Anima left one-half of her property to her daughter, one- third to her son and donated the rest to an education institute. If the donation was worth Rs.1,00,000. How much did anima have?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount that Anima had be Rs x

Given to daughter = x/2

Given to son =x/3

Donated = Rs 100000

Hence

x/2 + x/3 + 100000 = x

=>x -x/2 - x/3 = 100000

=>(6x - 3x -2x)/6 = 100000 (lcm = 6)

x/6 =100000

x ,= 100000 × 6 = 600000

= Rs 600000

Hence Anima had Rs 600000
