Correct Answer: (3)
Solution: (3)
Let the total retirement fund be Rs. 100.
$\therefore$ Amount given to wife, son and daughter $=$ Rs. 70
Ratio of the amounts given to wife, son and daughter $=7: 3: 4$
Amount given to son $=\frac{3}{14} \times 70$ $=$ Rs. 15
According to the question,
$\because$ When difference $=$ Rs. 15 ,
total amount $=$ Rs. 100
$\because $ When difference $=$ Rs. 31500 ,
total amount $=\frac{100}{15} \times 31500$ $=$ Rs. 210000
