Answer» al amount is Rs.90,000/-To find:Total amount = ?Solution:Let US ASSUME that total amount of money with Mr Joshi was x. Mr Joshi bequeathed \frac{1}{3} of his money to his son. This can be WRITTEN asMoney with son =\frac{x}{3}Mr Joshi bequeathed \frac{1}{5} of his money to his daughter. This can be written asMoney with daughter =\frac{x}{5}Hence, the SHARE of wife will be =x-\frac{x}{3}-\frac{x}{5} who got Rs.42000/-.Thus, x-\left(\frac{x}{3}+\frac{x}{5}\right)=42000x-\frac{5 x-3 x}{15}=42000\frac{15 x-8 x}{15}=420007 x=42000 \times 157 \mathrm{x}=630000\mathrm{x}=90000Hence, the total amount with Mr Joshi was Rs.90,000/-.4.5 |
