Question

Mrs. Arora left one-fourth of her property for her son, two-thirds for her daughter and theremainder for her niece. If her niece's share is 700000, what was the worth of her totalproperty?

Answer 1

let the total property be = x
sum given to her son = (1/4)x
sum given to her daughter = (2/3)x
sum given to her niece = 700000
total property = sum given to her son + sum given to her daughter + sum given to her niece
x=(1/4)x+(2/3)x+700000
x=(3x+8x)/12+700000
x=11x/12+700000
x-(11x/12)=700000
(12x-11x)/12=700000
x/12=700000
x=700000×12
x=8400000
her total property= 8400000
