Question

If the amount given by sunita to the orphanage was Rs 20000.Find the total value of the Ramesh property and the amount each person got?What value is shown by uma??

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ramesh gave 1/4 th of his property to his two sons equally..

Each son gets = 1/4 * 1/2 =1/8 part

rest gave to his wife, wife gets =(1 - 1/4) =3/4 part

his wife,Uma gave 1/3 rd part to an orphanage,

she gives the orphanage = 3/4 * 1/3 = 1/4 part

(wife's name is doubtful, here two names mentioned)

Uma/Sunita, his wife gave the orphanage Rs. 20000 according to the question...

now, we can say

1/4 part = Rs. 20000

hence, 1 part = (20000*4) = Rs.80000

The total value of Ramesh property is Rs. 80000

Each son get = 80000*1/8 = Rs. 10000

Uma get from Ramesh = 80000*3/4 = Rs. 60000

after giving Rs. 20000 to the orphanage, Uma has the the amount of Rs. (60000-20000) = Rs. 40000.
