    Explanation:
    Ratio of wealth divided among sons is
    2:3:5
    1/3 of total wealth is given to his wife so
    2/3 of total wealth will be shared among
    his sons.
    Let wealth divided by his sons 2x, 3x,
    5x.
    We are given that 2x=48000 Rs.
    x=24000 Rs.
    So wealth divided among
    sons=2x+3x+5x=10x=10×24000=240000 Rs.
    2/3 of total wealth is=240000 Rs.
    Therefore total wealth=3*240000/2=360000Rs
