The data given in the question are

D Lakshman Prasad owned property worth R$ $60,000$,

D Lakshman Prasad gave $75$% of his property to wife ,

he also gave $15$% to his son and remaining to charity.

we have to find amount received by his wife and son,

Total property worth of D Lakshman Prasad R$ $60,000$,he gave property of his wife $75$ % means in terms of amounts$=\frac{75}{100} \times 60,000$$=45,000$,

and $15%$% to his son in terms of amount=$\frac{15}{100}\times 60,000=9000$

and remaining $10$% to charity in terms of amount $=\frac{10}{100} \times60,000=6000$

so, amount received by his wife and son $=R 45,000+R 9,000=R 54,000$

Therefore, amounts received by his wife and son is equal to R$ 54,000
