Hello. I am unable to understand this question. What does “balance” even mean?
Hello, @user1731
Just, Use the method of Backsolving,
Let’s say, Amount of the Estate = $108,000
Therefore according to the question,
Widow got = (108000/3) = $36000
Now the Balance Amount(Remaining Amount Left, after the Widow got her desired amount from the total) = (108000 - 36000) = $72000
So, each of her 3 sons got = (72000/3) = $24000
Now, the question says that the Amount received by the Widow and one of her sons must result in $60000.
So, as per our assumption, and the values we received,
Widow + 1 son = 36000 + 24000 = 60000. Therefore, we satisfied the condition given in the question, and our assumption is correct. So the Answer is C
