Question

A person died leaving behind inheritance of Rs. 300000. Distribute the amount among 4 sons and 3 daughters so that each son gets double of what a daughter gets. Find the share of each when a debt of Rs. 80,000 was also to be paid.

Answer 1

s=2d

4s+3d=300000-80000

4s+3d=220000, now using s=2d in this equation you get:

4(2d)+3d=220000

8d+3d=220000

11d=220000

d=20000

So each daughter gets 20000 and each son gets 40000.
