A Hindu dies intestate leaving behind two sons, one daughter, and a widow. His property shall devolve to
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Sons, a daughter and a widow are all Class I heirs under the Schedule to the Hindu Succession Act, and under sections 8 to 10 they take simultaneously, one share each.
So the property devolves to "sons, daughter and widow all", each taking one quarter; none of them excludes the others.
