Among the three, Neeta received the least amount in bank deposits, while Geeta received the highest. The value of the assets was distributed equally among the children, as were the gold coins. How many flats did Neeta receive?
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question the gold coins were equally distributed amongst the 3 children. We are also told that the remaining assets (apart from the gold coins) are also equally distributed and that no flat or house is split or divided between 2 or more people. Only the bank deposit of Rs.70 lakhs can be split. Apart from the gold coins, the total value of the assets is 70 + 50 + 30 + 30 + 30 = 210 lakhs
So 210 lakhs split equally would means that each of the 3 daughters would get Rs.70 lakhs. This would mean that the person receiving the Rs.50 lakh house would get Rs.20 lakhs from the bank deposit. Now there are 3 flats of Rs.30 lakhs each and a balance of 50 lakhs in the bank deposit. The only way these assets can be split equally is if one of the 2 remaining people gets one of the flats of Rs.30 lakhs and receives 40 lakhs from the bank deposit. The second person would receive 70-40-20 = 10 Lakhs as bank deposit and 2 flats of 30 lakhs each, the sum of which adds upto 70 lakhs. As Neeta receives the least amount in bank deposits, she will receive 10 lakhs. Also, as Geeta receives the highest amount in bank deposits she wil receive 40 lakhs.
Since Neeta is the person who receives the least amount in bank deposits i.e., 10 lakhs, he will receive 2 flats of 30 lakhs each.
