      D Rs 90,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the entire property be Rs x Part of son and daughter together = 1/2 x Ratio of son and daughter = 3:2 Son get = 3/5├Ч1/2 x┬а Daughter get = 2/5┬а ├Ч 1/2 x┬а Wife get =2 ├Ч┬а 2/5┬а ├Ч 1/2 x Cook get = Rs 9,000 тЗТ┬а x - (3x/10+ x/5+┬а x/5) = 9,000┬а тЗТx - ((3x+2x+2x)/10) = 9,000 тЗТ3x/10= 9,000┬а тИ┤┬а ┬аx = 30,000┬а ALTERNATE METHOD: Let the entire property = 100% His sons & daughters got 50% in 3:2 means that share of his sons = 30% & that of daughter = 20% So share of wife = 20% Hence remaining share is of cook So 30% of entire property = 9000 Hence entire property = 9000├Ч100/30 = 30,000
