Correct Answer: 400


Solution : Let man's total wealth be 100 units.
After donating 30% to charity, the remaining wealth = 70 units
After donating 30% to his wife and 25% to his son, the remaining wealth = 45% of 70 = 31.5 units
The remaining amount is divided into three daughters,
So, the share of each daughter = $\frac{31.5}{3}$ = 10.5 units
Here, 10.5 units = 42 lakhs
$\therefore$ 100 units = $\frac{4200000}{10.5}×100$ = 4,00,00,000 = 400 lakhs
Hence, the correct answer is 400.
