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 estate in Tk?
Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
window recieves x/3 of the estate. [If entire estate is x]
one of the three sons recieve = [{x-(x/3)}*1/3]
= (2x/3)*1/3 = 2x/9
Now, A/Q,
x/3 + 2x/9 = 360000
(3x+2x)/9 = 360000
5x/9 = 360000
x = 9*36000/5
x = 648000
