Answer 1

Answer:

1/5th according to my calculations

Answer 2

Answer:

he gave Rs. 24750 means 1/3 approx to his wife.

Step-by-step explanation:

money as income tax = 1/10 of 75000

= Rs. 7500

then remaining money = 75000-7500=Rs.67500

1. 1/3 of 67500 = Rs.22500

2. 1/5 of 67500 = Rs.13500

3. 1/10 of 67500 = Rs.6750

Add these

= 22500+13500+6750 = Rs.42750

Now subtract it from 67500

67500-42750 = Rs.24750

which is 1/3 approx.
