A man divides his property so that his son’s share to his wife’s and the wife’s share to his daughter are both in the ratio 3 : 1. If the daughter gets 10,000 less than the son, find the total worth of the property.	Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) 16,200  B) 16,250  C) 16,500  D) 15,300  E) None of these
Let Son’s share = S;   Daughter’s share = D;   and Wife’s share = W.   Also, S : W = W : D = 3 : 1   ∴ S : W : D = 9 : 3 : 1   then S = 9x , D = x   and 9x – x = 10,000 ⇒ x = 1250   ∴ Total worth of the property = (9 + 3 + 1)=
