Marks: +1, -0

A man divides his property so that his son’s share to his wife’s and wife’s share to his daughter’s are both as in the ratio 3 : 1. If the daughter gets ₹ 10,000 less than son, the value (in rupees) of the whole property is

₹ 16,250
₹ 16,000
₹ 18,250
₹ 17,000

Validate

Solution:

(1) Son : wife = 3 : 1 = 9 : 3
Wife : daughter = 3 : 1
∴ Son : wife : daughter = 9 : 3 : 1
Sum of ratios = 9 + 3 + 1 = 13
If total wealth be Rs. x, then Son’s share – daughter’s share = Rs. 10,000

⇒{9 x}/{13}- {x}/{13}=10,000

⇒{9 x-x}/{13}=10,000

⇒ 8 x=13,00,00

⇒ x= {13,00,00}/{8}=R s .16250
