Question : A man divides a certain sum among his wife, his son and his daughter. His wife gets 45% of the sum, his son gets 30% of the sum, and his daughter gets the remaining INR 6,25,000. What amount did the wife get?
Option 1: INR 5,00,000
Option 2: INR 11,25,000
Option 3: INR 7,50,000
Option 4: INR 6,25,000
Correct Answer: INR 11,25,000
Solution :
Percentage of money wife got = 45%
Percentage of money son got = 30%
⇒ Percentage of money daughter got = 100 – 45 – 30 = 25%
The amount received by daughter = INR 6,25,000
Let $x$ be the total money.
25% of $x$ = 625000
$\therefore x = \frac{62500000}{25} = 2500000$
Amount received by wife = 45% of 25,00,000
= 45 × 25000
= INR 11,25,000
Hence, the correct answer is INR 11,25,000.
