Mukherjee gave 5/14 of money to his son = 5/14 of x = 5x/14Mr. Mukherjee gave 2/3 of remaining to his daughter.So, remaining money = x - 5x/14=( 14x - 5x )/14= 9x/14He gave 2/3 of remaining I.e.2/3 of 9x/14= 2/3 × 9x/14=3x/7According To Question , when we form equation it is -x - (5x/14 + 3x/7) = 36000or, x - {(5x + 6x )/14} = 36000or, x - 11x/14 = 36000or, (14x - 11x)/14 = 36000or, 3x / 14 = 36000or, 3x = 36000 × 14or , x = (36000×14)/3or, x = 12000×14or, x = 168000So, he gave 5/14 of it to his son I.e.5/14 of 168000= 5/14 × 168000= 60000He gave 2/3 of remaining to his daughter -remaining = 168000-60000= 1080002/3 of 108000 = 2/3 × 108000= 72000Her wife got 36000Sum -60000+72000+36000 = ₹168000Hence , VERIFIED also.Answer) Total amount of money was ₹168000 |
