Detailed Solution

Suppose share of eldest sons = z
Share of second sons = y
Share of third sons = x
Here, eldest son's share = 2

\times

second son's share. So,

\Rightarrow 2 y = z

The share of the second son = 3

\times

third son's share.

\Rightarrow y = 3 x

Now, second son gets Rs. 4000 more than 3rd son, so

y = x + 4000

3 x = x + 4000

(since, y =3x)

2 x = 4000

x = 2000

So, third son share,

x = Rs . 2000

Now, second son share

y = 3 x

y = Rs . 6000

The share of eldest son,

z = 2 y

z = Rs . 12000

So, the total money,

= x + y + z

= 2000 + 6000 + 12000

= Rs . 20000

Hence, the total value of property =

Rs . 20000

So, the correct answer is Option 2.
