4/4 - (1/4+1/4) = 4/4 - 2/4 = 2/4 = 1/2
Left.

1/2 - 1/3 = 3/6 - 2/6 = 1/6 Left for wife.

(1/6)/(2/6) * 100,000 = 1/2 * 100,000 =
50,000 = Wife's amount.

No it ha said one third of the remaining . That means after giving 1/2 of his property he divided the remaining amount into a third ie. (1/4 + 1 /4)×1/3. So the answer will be his wife will get rs 200000

Let the property of Mr. Mathews be x.
Since, Mr. Mathews gave his daughter and son equal part of the property, i.e., ¼ to each.
Therefore, left part of the property
= X-[(x/4)+(x/4)]
=X - x/2 = X/2
Now, he gave ⅓ of remaining part of property to charity, i.e., ⅓×[x/2]
=x/6
And, rest part of his property he gave to his wife, i.e., (x/2)-(x/6)
=x/3
Since, the charity amount is Rs. 1,00,000.

Therefore, x/6 = Rs.1,00,000
Or x= Rs.6,00,000
This, total amount property =Rs.6,00,000

Hence, Mr. Mathews's wife gets
= Rs. (6,00,000÷3)
= Rs. 2,00,000.
