Sohan leaves Rs$.$ $2,00,000$ for his wife and two children $,$such that $\frac{2}{5}$th of this money is given to his wife and the remaining is distributed equally among two children$.$ Find how much money will each child get $?$

Answer 1

Step 1 : Find the amount given to his wife

Total amount $=$Rs$.$ $2,00,000$

Amount given to his wife$=$$\frac{2}{5}$of Total amount $=$$\frac{2}{5}$$\times$$2,00,000$ $=$$\frac{2\times 2,00,000}{5}$ $=$$\frac{4,00,000}{5}$$=$Rs$.$$80,000$

Step 2 : Find the Remaining amount

$=$Total amount $-$Amount given to his wife

$=$ $2,00,000$ $-$$80,000$

$=$ Rs$.$ $1,20,000$

This amount is distributed Equally among two children

Step 3 : Find the share of each children

$=$ $\frac{1,20,000}{2}$

$=$Rs$.$$60,000$

Hence$,$ each child will get Rs$.$$60,000$
