Dear Student,

Please find the solution to the asked query:

Let the man's savings = Rs xMoney given to son = Rs 0
15 xMoney given to daughter = Rs 0
25 xNow, money left = x - 0
15 x + 0 25 x= x - 0
4 x= Rs 0
6 xMoney given to wife = 0
6 × 0 6 x = Rs 0
36 xNow, money left = 0
6 x - 0 36 x = Rs 0
24 xNow, according to question:-     0
24 x = 960⇒ 24 x100 = 960⇒ x = 4000So, man's savings = Rs 4000
