Question

man gave one fourth of its money to his daughter one half of what was left to his son and the rest to his wife if the wife received rupees 10 lakh what was the total sum​

Answer 1

Let the total money the man has be x

Man gave 1/4 of his money to his daughter

= x/4

Now left money = x - x/4

= (4x - x)/4

= 3x/4

Now the half of that money to his son

3x/4 × 1/2 = 3x/8

The remaining money to his wife which means

The remaining money to his wife which means3x/4 - 3x/8 = 3x/8

According to the Question Wife received Rs. 10,00,000 which means ;

3x/8 = 10,00,000

=>3x = 80,00,000

=> x = 80,00,000 ÷ 3

=> 2666666.7 (ANS)

Hence the total money is Rs. 2666666.7

Answer 2

Answer:

let the total money with man be x

now daughter have x/4

son have x/2

wife have left over amount or 1000000

so, x/4+x/2+1000000=x

=x/4+x/2-x=-1000000

final answer when we solve the equation is..

-x/4=-1000000

=-x=-4*1000000

=-4000000

=x=400000

hope it helped
