b) ₹31000
c) ₹30000
d) ₹30100
correct answer is: c) ₹30000
Explanation
A man gave \large\frac{1}{3} of his property to his wife.
Let, the man had ₹ ‘x’.
So, Wife got ₹\left(x\times\large\frac13\right) or \large\frac{x}{3} of property.
\therefore Property left after giving to wife =₹\left(x-\large\frac x3\right)
\rightarrow ₹\large\left(\frac{3x-x}3\right) [L.C.M : 3]
\rightarrow ₹\large\frac{2x}3
From the rest property he gave \large\frac{3}{4} to his son.
\therefore Son got ₹\large\left(\frac{2x}{3}\times\frac{3}{4}\right) or \large\frac{x}{2} of property
\therefore Property left after giving son =₹\large\left(\frac{2x}3-\frac x2\right)
\rightarrow ₹\large\left(\frac{4x-3x}6\right) [L.C.M : 6]
\rightarrow ₹\large\left(\frac x6\right)
According to the question:
\large\frac{x}{6}\normalsize=₹5000
\rightarrow x=₹\left(5000\times6\right)
\rightarrow x=₹30000
\therefore The man had ₹30000.
Ans: The total money the man had ₹30000.
