Correct Answer: 8400
Solution :
Let the amount received by each son be Rs. $x$.
The amount received by each daughter = 1.5$x$
The amount received by wife = $x$ – 600
Total amount = Rs. 19000
According to the question,
$3x + 2(1.5x) + x- 600 = 19000$
⇒$ 7x =19600$
⇒ $x = 2800$
Amount received by the three sons together = 3 × (2800) = Rs. 8400
Hence, the correct answer is 8400.
