let there are y brothers

,,    ,,      ,,   x sisters

and one aunt

let aunt has a share of Rst

so each sister will have a share of Rs2t

and then x sisters will have share of Rs2xt

now each brother will have share of  6t

so y brothers will have share of 6yt

that mkes  a total of

6yt+2xt+t=1,920,000

Aunt has T share

Each daughter has 2T share

Each Son has 6T share.

here the ratio is 1:2D:6S

now aunt should only know hw many Children she have. She only can share the money.

Aunt will take (1/(1+2D+6S))*1920000

Dear Aunt replace D with no. of daughters and S with no of Suns. You will got your share.
