Answer» Answer: LET, the MOTHER's share = x according to the question, elder daughter's CONTRIBUTION= 3/8 x younger daughter's contribution = 1/2 x now, x +3x/8 + x/2 = 62000 (8X +3x+4x)/8 = 62000 15x = 496000 x = 496000/15 x = mother's share= 33067 3/8 x = elder daughter's share = 33067 × 3/8 = 12400 1/2 x = younger daughter's share = 33067/2 = 16533

Answer:

LET,

the MOTHER's share = x

according to the question,

elder daughter's CONTRIBUTION= 3/8 x

younger daughter's contribution = 1/2 x

now,

x +3x/8 + x/2 = 62000

(8X +3x+4x)/8 = 62000

15x = 496000

x = 496000/15

x = mother's share= 33067

3/8 x = elder daughter's share = 33067 × 3/8 = 12400

1/2 x = younger daughter's share = 33067/2 = 16533
