Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

State worth is $\ 4,90,000$

Assume the youngest receives x

So, Eldest receives three times of youngest=3x

Middle receives $\ 15,000$ more than the youngest=x+15000

Sum of their shares$= 3x+x+15000+x=4,90,000$

$\Rightarrow \quad 5x+15000=4,90,000\\\Rightarrow \quad 5x=4,75,000\\\Rightarrow \quad x=\ 95,000$

Eldest receives $2,85,000

Middle receives $1,10,000

Youngest receives $90,000
