(1) What was the share of each child ?
₹8,00,000
₹11,20,000
₹6,40,000
₹7,00,000
(2) What fraction of the money did the girls receive ?

Answer
(1) Given:
Total Money = ₹56,00,000
Total Grand-children = 3 Boys + 5 Girls = 8 children
Each child receives equal share.
∴ Share of each child = Total Money ÷ Total Grand-children
Substituting the values in above, we get:
Share of each child = ₹56,00,000 ÷ 8
= ₹ = ₹7,00,000
Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
(2) Given:
Number of girls = 5
Total children = 8
Fraction of money received by girls = Number of girls ÷ Total children
Substituting the values in above, we get:
Fraction of money received by girls = 5 ÷ 8
=
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
(3) Number of boys = 3
Given,
Amount received by each boy = ₹7,00,000 [From step 1]
Total amount received by boys = (Number of boys) x (Amount received by each boy)
Substituting the values in above, we get:
Total amount received by boys = 3 x ₹7,00,000
= ₹21,00,000
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
(4) Given:
If one girl did not take her share,
Remaining children = 7 (3 boys + 4 girls)
Now total money is divided among 7 children equally.
Fraction received by boys = Number of boys ÷ Total children
Substituting the values in above, we get:
Fraction received by boys = 3 ÷ 7 =
Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
