Math Problem Statement

Surendra has a property having a

certain value. He gives 60% of his

property of his wife. 75% of the

remaining property to his daughter,

and the rest to a trust. If he give

property worth Rs. 6,00,000 to the

trust, find the worth of the share of

the property he gives to his

daughter.

Solution

Let's break the problem down step by step:

  1. Let the total value of Surendra's property be xx.

  2. He gives 60% of his property to his wife.
    This means the remaining property is: Remaining property=100%60%=40% of x\text{Remaining property} = 100\% - 60\% = 40\% \text{ of } x So, the remaining property is 0.4x0.4x.

  3. He gives 75% of the remaining property to his daughter.
    This means the amount given to his daughter is: Daughter’s share=75% of 0.4x=0.75×0.4x=0.3x\text{Daughter's share} = 75\% \text{ of } 0.4x = 0.75 \times 0.4x = 0.3x

  4. The rest is given to a trust.
    The amount left for the trust is: Trust’s share=25% of 0.4x=0.25×0.4x=0.1x\text{Trust's share} = 25\% \text{ of } 0.4x = 0.25 \times 0.4x = 0.1x According to the problem, Surendra gives Rs. 6,00,000 to the trust. Therefore: 0.1x=6,00,0000.1x = 6,00,000

  5. Now, solve for xx: x=6,00,0000.1=60,00,000x = \frac{6,00,000}{0.1} = 60,00,000 So, the total value of Surendra's property is Rs. 60,00,000.

  6. Find the share given to his daughter:
    We know the daughter receives 0.3x0.3x. Therefore, the daughter's share is: Daughter’s share=0.3×60,00,000=18,00,000\text{Daughter's share} = 0.3 \times 60,00,000 = 18,00,000

Answer: The worth of the share of the property given to his daughter is Rs. 18,00,000.
