A widow received 1/3 of her husband's estate, and each of her three sons received 1/3 of the balance. If the widow and one of her sons received a total of Tk. 360,000 from the estate, what was the worth of the worth of estate in Tk ?
Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
Solution: Widow got = 1/3 part, then, balance = 1- 1/3 = 2/3
Each son got = 1/3 of 2/3 = 2/9
(Widow + one son) = 1/3 + 2/9 = 3+2/9 = 5/9
Given, 5/9 part = 360,000 So, 1 part = 360,000 \( \times \) 9/5 = 648,000
