A husband died and named half of his fortune to his mother, 1/3 of share to his wife and remaining to his dog. If his dog got Rs. 20000, what is the amount of his total fortune? Correct Answer Rs. 120000

Let the total fortune be x.

Share of fortune dog got = x – ½x - 1/3x = 1/6x

According to the question.

1/6x = 20000

x = 20000 × 6 = 120000

Hence, the total fortune of the man is Rs. 120000.
