Dear Mr. Anshad, Both the wives will get totally 1/8th of the property - which they have to share equally amongst themselves i.e. 1/16th each.
As regards both the sons and a daughter, they have to share the remaining 7/8th of the property. The sons will get 7/20 share each will the daughter will get 7/40 share.
