A man divides his property between 3 children in such a way that Suresh gets 60 % of the total property.
Mahesh gets eighth part of the remaining property. If Sudheer gets 1 lacs 68 thousand rupee, then the total property is

OPtion

1) 2, 40, 000
2) 2, 88, 000
3) 1, 92, 000
4) 24, 000
5) 1, 68, 000
6) 1, 20, 000
7) 4, 80, 000
8) 4, 00, 000
9) 80, 000
10) 1, 32, 000

Solution

Total property = 100 %

Part of Suresh = 60 %

Part of Mahesh = 40 % / 8 = 5 %

Part of Sudheer = 35 %

35 % = 1, 68, 000

Thus total property = 1, 68, 000 * 100 / 35 = 4, 80, 000

let total amt be x
(x/100) *35 =168000
>> x=4,80,000

ASHOK ROY   14 years AGO

(60x/100)+(x-60x/100)*1/8+168000=x by solving this equation we get total amount x =480000

Mehul MKDP   14 years AGO

7/8 + 1/8 = 1 ( I.E. 40%)
24000+168000 = 192000 40%

SO 100% = 480000

x-x(3/5)-x(1/20)=1.68
x=4.8lakhs
X=total property
x(3/5)=60% property
x(1/20)= 1/8 of the remaining property

Suresh gets 60 % of the total property.
Mahesh gets eighth part of the remaining property i.e. 5%. If Sudheer gets 35% of property which is 1 lacs 68 thousand rupee, then the total property is 1.68*100/35 = 4.8 lacs= 4, 80, 000
