1. Answer:

   Step-by-step explanation:

   Lets assume Mother contribues ‘x’

   then the eldest son contributes 3x/8

   and the younget son contributes 1x/2

   Total contribution = x + 3x/8 + 1x/2

   =>8x/8 + 3x/8 + 4x/8

   =>15x/8

   now According To the Question

   15x/8 = 60000

   x/8 = 60000/15 = 4000

   x = 4000*8 = 32000

   ∴Mother contibutes = x = 32000

   elder son contributes = 3x/8 = (3*32000)/8 = 1200

   Younger son contributes = x/2 = 32000/2 = 16000

   HOPE IT HELPS 🙂
