Answer 1

Answer:

168,000 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be amount of money Mr. Mukherjee gave to son, daughter and wife.

($\frac{5}{14}$ x) got his son,

$\frac{2}{3}$ [(1 - $\frac{5}{14}$) x] got daughter,

x - ($\frac{5}{14}$ + $\frac{6}{14}$)x = 36,000

$\frac{3}{14}$ x = 36,000

x = 36,000 × $\frac{14}{3}$

x = 168,000
