Answer:
12,00,000 rupees
Step-by-step explanation:
The fraction originally intended for each son was ...
(1/3)(1 -2/5) = 1/3(3/5) = 1/5
The fraction each son actually received was ...
(1 -1/6)(1/5) = (5/6)(1/5) = 1/6
The difference in these amounts as a fraction of the original distribution is ...
1/5 - 1/6 = (6/30) -(5/30) = 1/30
Then the original distribution is 30 times this difference:
30×40000 rupees = 12,00,000 rupees

<em>Additional comment</em>
Originally-intended distribution (rupees):
- wife: 4,80,000
- each son: 2,40,000
Actual distribution:
- brother: 2,00,000
- wife: 4,00,000
- each son: 2,00,000
1,00,000 = 1 lakh
