Detailed Solution

A person has shared one-third of his total property to his son, one-fourth to his daughter and the remaining is to his wife. His wife's share is ₹ 18000.
His total property = son’s share + daughter’s share + mother’s
Let the total property worth be x.
According to the question,
x=x3+x4+18000.
Solve the above equation for x.
x=x3+x4+18000
x-x3-x4=18000
LCM between a prime and another is always the product of the numbers.
12x-4x-3x12=18000
5x12=18000
x12=3600
x = ₹ 43200
So, his net worth is ₹ 43200.
Hence, option 1 is correct.
