Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} Dearstudent, \\ Assumingherepropertyisana\log oustomoney. \\ Letthetotalpropertybex. \\ Propertyleftforson=\frac{1}{3}x \\ Propertyleftfordaughter=\frac{1}{4}x \\ Remainingforwife=20000 \\ \Rightarrow x-\frac{x}{3}-\frac{x}{4}=20000 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{12x-4x-3x}{12}=20000 \\ \Rightarrow 5x=20000\times 12 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{20000\times 12}{5}=48000 \\ Regards \end{gathered}$$
