A Correct answer
Explanation

Ratio 7/6 : 5/3 = 7/6 : 10/6 = 7 : 10. Total parts = 17. Son's share = (7/17) * 2125000 = 875000.

AI explanation

To clear the fractions from the given ratio of (7/6) to (5/3), multiply both terms by the least common multiple of the denominators, which is 6. This changes the ratio to 7 to 10, meaning the total of 17 parts represents the complete wealth of 2125000 rupees. The son's share is 7 parts, calculated as 7 divided by 17 of 2125000, which is equivalent to 7 multiplied by 125000. The son gets Rs. 8,75,000.
