Question

prem gave 1/3 of his property for charity of the rest he gave 2/3 to his wife and rest divided equally between his son and daughter find what part of his property was given to son and daughter​

Answer 1

Given parameters:

Fraction given to charity =
`(1)/(3)`

Fraction given to wife =
`(2)/(3)`

Unknown:

Fraction given to son and daughter =?

Solution:

Let the total property = x

Fraction given to charity =
`(1)/(3) x`

Fraction given to wife =
`(2)/(3) x`

The remaining was given to son and daughter = F

So;

Total property = fraction given to charity + fraction given to wife + fraction given to son and daughter

x =
`(1)/(3) x + (2)/(3) x + F`

F = x - (
`(1)/(3) x + (2)/(3) x`)

F = 0

The son and daughter will not inherit anything
