Answer:

$2100.21

Step-by-step explanation:

If the widow gets 0.125 and the son gets 0.4, together they get 0.525, or 52.5%. If you multiply 4000.4 * 0.525, you get 2100.21, which is a little over half of 4000.

Answer: The widow got Rs 500.05 and the son got Rs 1400.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting from Rs 4000.40, to obtain how much did the widow get we should just multiply the amount by 0.125:

$Widow = 4000.40 * 0.125 = 500.05$

Then, the son gets 0.4 of what is left, we must first substract the amount the wife got from the initial amount and then multiply it by 0.4:

$Son = (4000.40 - 500.05)*0.4=(3500.35)*0.4=1400.14$
