If rs 973000 was divided among son, daughter,and wife in the ratio of 4:2:1,
Then,
Sum ratio =4+2+1
=7
Son's share = %28973000%2F7%29%2A%284%2F1%29
=139000*4
=556000
The son's share is rs 556000
Daughter's share =%28973000%2F7%29%2A%282%2F1%29
=139000*2
=278000
Daughter's share is rs 278000
Also,wife's share=%28973000%2F7%29%2A%281%2F1%29
=139000
Wife's share is rs 139000.
