Answer 2

Let Jitendra's total property be worth x.

He gave

1/3 of x to his son,

1/4 of x to his daughter and remaining to his wife.

According to question,

Wife's share = x - Sum of the shares of son and daughter.

Therefore,

wife's share = x - (1/3x + 1/4x)

=x - {(4x + 3x)/12}

=x - 7x/12

=(12x - 7x)/12

=5x/12

Since given,

Wife's share=320000

Therefore,

5x/12 = 320000

x=768000
