The correct answer is: $1740$
Explanation
Mr Lim’s wife (W), son (S) and daughter (D) total $3600$. We are told $W = S + 500$ and $S = 2D$. Use these relations to express all amounts in terms of $D$ and solve.
Steps:
- Sum equation: $$W+S+D=3600$$
- Substitute $W=S+500$ and $S=2D$: $$(2D+500)+2D+D=3600$$
- Simplify and solve: $$5D+500=3600$$ $$5D=3100$$ $$D=620$$
- Find son and wife: $$S=2D=1240$$ $$W=S+500=1240+500=1740$$
Therefore, Mr Lim’s wife received $1740$.
