Question

Hari babu left One-third of his property to his son, one- fourth to his daughter and the remainder to his wife. if his wife's share is ₹18000, what was the worth of his total property​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total property of Hari babu be x.

Then,

Son's share = x/3

Daughter's share = x/4

His wife's share = x - (⅓ + ¼)x

= x - x/3 - x/4

= 5x/12

We have,

His wife share = ₹18000

A/Q

5x/12 = 18000

5x = 18000 × 12

x = 216000/5 = 43200

The worth of his total property was ₹43200

Answer 2

Answer:

The worth of his total property = ₹43200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that Hari babu total property be ₹ x.

Given:

One-third of his property to his son:

= 1/3 of x = ₹ x/3

One-fourth to his daughter :

= 1/4 of x = ₹ x/4

Remaining to his wife:

= ₹ x - (x/3 + x/4)

According to question:

x - (x/3 + x/4) = 18000

→ x - (4x + 3x)/12 = 18000

→ (12x - 7x)/12 = 18000

→ 5x = 18000 × 12

→ 5x = 216000

→ x = 43200

∴ Hari babu total property = x = ₹43200
