Answer 1

Answer:

very confusing question

Answer 2

Let he left x

then daughter gets = x/4

then total of son's & daughter money = x/2

remaining money = x/2

then he left money for charity = x/2*(1/3) = x/6

then wife gets = x- x/2 - x/6 = x-2x/3 = x/3 again

x/6 = 100000 or x= 600000

then wife gets = 600000/3 = 200000 (answer)
