A man was dividing his property among his children. This was what
the man told to his first son “Take as many number of cattle as you
can care for and your wife may take one-ninth of the remaining
number.” To his second son he said “Take one more than what the first
son took and your wife will have one ninth of the cattle remaining after
you have taken.” This applied to the remaining sons too i.e. each son
would take one more than the next oldest brother and their wives
would have one ninth of the remaining after their husbands have got
their share.
After the cattle were divided, the man proceeded to divide the gold
bars he had among the children. Each gold bar was valued at 3.5 times
each cow's value. The gold bars were divided such that each couple had
equally valued inheritance. What are the number of cows, gold bars
and the number of sons the man had?
