let the total money rohan had be x
5/14 he gave to his son.
= 5x/14
..
so balance = x -5x/14
=9x/14
..
2/3 of 9x/14 to h is daughter.
= 2/3 * 9x/14
=3x/7 to daughter
Balance = 9x/14-3x/7
=9x-6x / 14
=3x/14 which was given to wife
...
3x/14 = 36000
3x=504 000
x=504 000/3
x=168 000 the amount Rohan had
CHECK
5x/14 +3x/14 +36000
(5*168000/14)+(3*168000/7)+36000= 168 000
