Share calculation —

Solution:

To answer this problem we use share formula which is ;

$Share Of A Share Holder = \frac{Total }{Sum Of All Rtios}\times Ratio Of Share Holder$

Here sum of ratios = 1/3+1/4+1/5=(20+15+12)/60=47/60

and Ratio of first son = 1/3

So, we put values in above formula;

hence, $\Rightarrow Share Of First Son = \frac{846}{47/60}\times 1/3$

hence, $\Rightarrow Share Of First Son = \frac{846\times 60}{47}\times 1/3$

so, $\Rightarrow Share Of First Son = \frac{846\times 20}{47}$

so, $\Rightarrow Share Of First Son = Rs 360$

So first son will get Rs 360
