Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is ₹ 64000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total money =Rs.100

Spend on land purchase =Rs.40

Remaining balance =100−40=Rs.60

Spend on house purchase =30% of 60

30/100 × 60=Rs.18

Remaining balance =60−18=Rs.42

Then, the person divides Rs.42 among two daughters and wife equally.

Each gets = 42/3 = Rs.14

If each gets 14 Rs. then total money =Rs.100

If each gets 22400 Rs then total money =

100/14× 22400= Rs.160000

Spend on land purchase=40% of 160000

40/100 × 160000= Rs. 64000
