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

= ₹56000008\dfrac{5600000}{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

= 58\dfrac{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 = 37\dfrac{3}{7}

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
