Answer:

This is how the money should be divided:

Each of my two younger siblings receives P3,000.

I will take P4,000.

The reasoning for this allocation stems from the principle that the eldest and youngest siblings should not receive equal portions when dividing assets.

Step-by-step explanation:

This division approach is the only sensible method to distribute P10,000 among myself and my younger siblings while ensuring no fractions are involved, maintaining whole peso amounts. Any other method would result in leftover change.
