Question: A sick man’s will stipulated that if his pregnant wife gave birth to a boy, then she should get two-fifth of his property and the child should get the remaining three-fifth. On the other hand, if she gave birth to a girl child, then one-fourth should go to his wife and the remaining three-fourth to the child. The sick man died after a few weeks. His wife delivered twins, a boy and a girl. How much should the wife get if his net-worth is Rs. 1.32 crores.
If a son if born wife and the son will receive amounts in the ratio 2 : 3.
If a girl if born wife and the girl will receive amounts in the ratio 1 : 3.
∴ Mother : Son : Daughter = 2 : 3 : 2 × 3 = 2 : 3 : 6.
Wife's share = 2/11 × 1,32,00,000 = Rs. 24,00,000
Hence, 2400000.
