what is the amount of inheritance received by B’s grandchildren?

Dear Sir i am unable to understand the above question please help me to solve it.

Firstly you should not be attempting questions to which you do not have the answer, there are more than sufficient questions in the exam kits supplied by the approved providers.
This question requires you to compute what value of property before tax goes to the grandchildren and then deduct the IHT on the chargeable estate from that figure – as the grandchildren are the residuary legatees it is they that suffer the full IHT cost on the chargeable estate
