Question

In his will a man divided half his wealth among his sons Ravi and shahsi in ratio 3:5 and remaining half among his daughters Chitra and Devi in ratio 7:9 If Chitra got 6000 more than one of her brothers then how much did shahsi get

Answer 1

Given:

Ravi and shahsi has share in ratio 3:5

Chitra and Devi has share in ratio 7:9

To find:

How much shashi get?

Solution:

Let the wealth of man is 1600 unit

So man distribute 800 among sons and 800 among daughters.

Ravi and shahsi has share in ratio 3:5

So,

• Ravi gets 300 units
• Shashi gets 500 units

Chitra and Devi has share in ratio 7:9

So,

• Chitra gets 350 units
• Devi gets 450 units

Chitra gets 50 units more than Ravi

But according to the question it is ₹6000

• 50 ------------- ₹6000

Shashi gets 500 units

• 500  --------------- ₹60000

Hence Shashi gets ₹60000
