Correct Answer: Rs. 24,000
Solution : Let the total property of Ram be worth Rs. $x$. Given: His wife gets Rs. $\frac{x}{3}$ His daughter gets = $\frac{3}{5}$ of $(x–\frac{x}{3})$ = $\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{2x}{3}$ = $\frac{2x}{5}$ His son gets = $x - (\frac{x}{3} + \frac{2x}{5})$ So, 6400 = $x - \frac{11x}{15}$ or, 6400 = $\frac{15x–11x}{15}$ or, $4x$ = 6400 × 15 or, $x$ =1600 ×15 = 24,000 So, the total property of Ram is worth Rs. 24,000. Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 24,000.
