Question

Mr Singh left one fourth of his property to his son, one fifth of his property to his
daughter and the remaining to his wife. If the wife's share is 2,20,000, what was
the worth of his total property?​

Answer 1

Answer:

44,00,000

Step-by-step explanation:

LET MR SMITHS TOTAL PROPERTY BE X

PROPERTY GIVEN TO MR. SMITH'S SON = 1/4*X

PROPERTY GIVEN TO MR. SMITHS DAUGHTER = 1/5*X

REMAINING MONEY = 1/4X-1/5X=X/20

WIFE'S SHARE = 2,20,000=X/20

220000*20=X

4400000

HENCE, MR. SMITH'S TOTAL PROPERTY IS 44,00,000

Answer 2

let total property be x . then

property to his son = x/4

property to his daughter = x/5

and the remaining to his wife = 220000

A/q

x/4 - x/5 = 220000

x/20 = 220000

x = 20 × 220000 = 4400000
