Answer 1

Answer:

Let the whole property is x

He gave $\cfrac{1}{5}$ of whole to his first son, i.e., $\cfrac{1}{5} x$

So, he left with $x-\cfrac{1}{5} x = \cfrac{4}{5} x$

He gave $\cfrac{1}{3} \text { of } \cfrac{4}{5} x$ to his second son, i.e.,

He gave $\cfrac{4}{15}x$ to his second son.

So, he left with $\cfrac{4}{5}x - \cfrac{4}{15}x = \cfrac{8}{15}x$

He gave $\cfrac{3}{8} \text { of } \cfrac{8}{15}x$ to his third son, i.e.,

He gave $\cfrac{3}{15}x$ to his third son.

Now, he left with $\cfrac{8}{15}x - \cfrac{3}{15}x = \cfrac{1}{3}x$ which he gave to his wife.

Its given that he gave Rs. 1200 to his wife.

So, $\cfrac{1}{3}x = 1200$

$\Rightarrow x = 3600$

Thus, his whole property is Rs. 3600.

He gave to his first son = Rs. 720

He gave to his second son = Rs. 960

He gave to his third son = Rs. 720

He gave to his wife = Rs. 1200
