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.
