Question

Ramjilal, a diamond merchant divides his property to his son, wife and daughter in the ratio of 6 : 8 : 9. If the daughter gets Rs. 12000 more than son, the total worth of man is 
1. Rs. 98000
2. Rs. 36000
3. Rs. 92000
4. Rs. 69000

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 92000

Given:

Ratio of property for son, wife and daughter = 6 : 8 : 9

Difference of daughter and son’s worth = Rs. 12000

Calculation:

Let the total property of Ramjilal be ‘23a’

So, the property of son, wife and daughter will be ‘6a’, ‘8a’ and ‘9a’ respectively.

Difference of property of son and daughter = 9a – 6a = 3a

According to the question,

⇒ 3a = Rs. 12000

⇒ a = 4000

Total property of Ramjilal = 23 × 4000 = Rs. 92000

∴ The total worth of Ramjilal is Rs. 92000.
