Question

As per the Will of a person 1/3 of his savings goes to his wife, 5/12 of what is left goes to each of his two
sons and rest to his daughter. If the daughter received Rs 50,000, then find the total worth of all the
assets.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the savings of the person be X.

ATQ,

1/3rd of the savings goes to wife= (1/3)X

Rest of the savings after deducting the wife's part= X- X/3= 2X/3

5/12th of the rest goes to two sons each= (5/12)×(2X/3)= 5X/18

Deducting the part of both the sons, the rest amount= (2X/3)- 2(5X/18)= X/9

This rest amt is given to the daughter which is equal to 50000.

Therefore,

X/9= 50000

=>X= 450000

Hence, the total worth of the assets will be Rs. 450000.

Hope, it helps!
