With AWAs you actually have to go through two and half hours for focused brain activity before you even start the verbal...

710 - Q50/V35 - short debrief

looking at the queastion and statements, its between C and E

Total = 138000
share per son = 138000/3 = 46000
Third son has already recieved 2000, so he'll get 46-2= 44000 from estate. Answer D.
