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 = $\frac{1}{3}$

Fraction given to wife = $\frac{2}{3}$

Unknown:

Fraction given to son and daughter =?

Solution:

Let the total property  = x

    Fraction given to charity  = $\frac{1}{3} x$

    Fraction given to wife  = $\frac{2}{3} x$

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  = $\frac{1}{3} x + \frac{2}{3} x + F$

            F = x - ($\frac{1}{3} x + \frac{2}{3} x$)

            F = 0

The son and daughter will not inherit anything
