15. A man divides his property among his wife, his daughter, and his son such that his wife's share is twice the share of his son, and his son's share is twice the share of his daughter. If his wife receives ₹9,00,000 more than his daughter, find the total worth of the property of the man.

A. ₹25,00,000
B. ₹29,00,000
C. ₹18,00,000
D. ₹21,00,000



Answer :

To solve this problem, let's understand the relationships between the shares of the wife, son, and daughter:

1. Define the shares in terms of the daughter's share:
- Let the daughter's share be \(d\).
- The son's share is twice the daughter's share, so the son's share is \(2d\).
- The wife's share is twice the son's share, so the wife's share is \(2 \times 2d = 4d\).

2. Set up the given condition:
- It's given that the wife's share is ₹9,00,000 more than the daughter's share:
[tex]\[ 4d = d + 900000 \][/tex]

3. Solve the equation:
- Subtract \(d\) from both sides:
[tex]\[ 4d - d = 900000 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 3d = 900000 \][/tex]
- Divide by 3:
[tex]\[ d = 300000 \][/tex]
So, the daughter's share is ₹300,000.

4. Calculate the son's share:
Since the son's share is twice the daughter's share:
[tex]\[ \text{Son's share} = 2d = 2 \times 300000 = 600000 \][/tex]

5. Calculate the wife's share:
Since the wife's share is twice the son's share:
[tex]\[ \text{Wife's share} = 2 \times 600000 = 1200000 \][/tex]

6. Find the total worth of the property:
Adding up all the shares:
[tex]\[ \text{Total property} = \text{Daughter's share} + \text{Son's share} + \text{Wife's share} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total property} = 300000 + 600000 + 1200000 = 2100000 \][/tex]

Therefore, the total worth of the property is ₹21,00,000.

Thus, the correct choice is:
(D) ₹21,00,000
