Question 78

According to the will, the wealth of Rs 11,50,000 was to be divided between the son and the daughter in the ratio $$\frac{2}{3} : \frac{5}{4}$$. How much share did the son get (in Rs lakhs)?

Solution

LCM of the denominators i.e 3,4=12

Therefore, New ratio= $$\frac{2}{3}\times12 : \frac{5}{4}\times12$$= 8:15

So, B's share= $$8\div(8+15)\times1150000$$= Rs. 4 lakhs.

Therefore, Option D is correct.
