The ans may be as follows,

assume only one son and one daughter.

let my ants is my uncles wife share be   X

so daughters share=2X

and sons share=3*2X=6X

now total share=1920000=6X+2X+X=9X

X=213333

So my ants share=Rs. 213333

If this solution is not correct please suggest correct approach.

let there be 1 daughter and 2 sons
then

x + 2x + 2*3*2x

15x = 1920000

x = 1920000/15 = 128000

aunt will get Rs. 1 lakh 28 thousand
