Given:

Total amount distributed = Rs. 12,900

Number of sons = 5, Number of daughters = 4, and Number of nephews = 2

Calculation:

According to the question,

5s + 4d + 2n = 12900

Now, Each daughter receives four times as much as each nephew. And Each son receives five times as much as each nephew. 

  Sons (s) Daughter (d) Nephews (n)
Members 5 4 2
Ratio 5 4 1
  25 16 2

⇒ s : d : n = 5 : 4 : 1

Now, (25 + 16 + 2) = 12900

⇒ 43 = 12900

⇒ 1 = 300

Each daughter received money = 4d = 4 × 300 = 1200

∴ Each daughter received money is Rs 1200
