Question

one fifth of an estate is left to a sister,one -fourth to a son ,one-sixth to a brother and the remainder, which is rupees 5,75,000 to the widow. what is the value of estates

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of the estates is 1500000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

1/5 left to a sister, 1/4 to a son and 1/6 to brother.

The remain portion can be calculated as:

$1-\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{6}$

It is given that widow gets 5,75,000 which is the remained portion.

$1-\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{6}=575000$

$1-\frac{12+15+10}{60}=575000$

$1-\frac{37}{60}=575000$

$\frac{23}{60}=575000$

$\frac{575000}{23}\times 60$

$25000 \times 60=1500000$

Hence, the value of the estates is 1500000.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer is 15,00,000

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total estate = x

his sister = x/5

his son= x/4

his brother =x/6

Remaining = x - x/5 - x/4 - x/6

LCM OF 5,4,6 =60

60x - 12x - 15x - 10x/60

60x - 37x /60 =23x/60

Remaining estate gave to his widow = 5,75,000

23x/60 = 5,75,000

x= 5,75,000 ×60/23

25,000×60

15,00,000
