Correct Answer: Rs. 16,250
Solution : Given: The ratio of the son's and the wife's shares is 3 : 1 i.e. 9 : 3. The ratio of the wife's and the daughter's shares is 3 : 1. So, the ratio of the three shares, son : wife : daughter = 9 : 3 : 1. Let the son's share be $9x$ units, the wife's share be $3x$ units and the daughter's share be $x$ units. The total share = $(9x+3x+x)=13x$ units The difference between the son's and daughter's shares $=(9x-x)=8x$ units So, $8x$ units are equivalent to Rs. 10,000 Therefore, $13x$ units are equivalent to ($\frac{10000×13x}{8x}$) = Rs. 16,250 So, the value of the whole property is Rs. 16250. Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 16,250.
