Answer 1

Answer:

hope you understand the way I answered

Answer 2

Answer:

it is not given that second son got one third of remaining wealth that remained after giving his eldest son. so we will treat it as one third of total wealth.

let wealth be x

share of eldest son = x/2

share of second son = x/3

share of youngest son = remaining wealth

= x - (x/2 + x/3)

= x - 5x/6

= x/6

percentage share = (x/6)*100/x

= 100/6

= 16 --- %
