GIVEN: Ratio of AMOUNT divided between SON and daughter

= 5\frac{2}{3} : 2\frac{1}{5}

=  \frac{17}{3} : \frac{11}{5} =85:33

Let the share of amount of son and daughter be 85x and 33x

Then 85x + 33x= Rs 185378

→118x =Rs  \:  \: 185378

→<klux>X</klux> =Rs \:  \frac{185378}{118} =Rs  \:  \: 1571
