Sunderlal distributed his savings of ₹ 1,62,000 among his wife, 3 sons and a daughter in such a way that his wife gets double of what his daughter gets and his daughter gets double off what each of his sons get. How much will his daughter get?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. ₹ 36,000.
Calculations:
Let the share of each son be x
Daughter get double of what each son get = 2x
Wife get double of what her daughter get = 4x
Total share = 162000
⇒ 3x + 2x + 4x = 162000
⇒ 9x = 162000
⇒ x = 18000
Required share of daughter = 2x
⇒ 2 × 18000 = 36000
