may it be self acquired property or ancestral property now the daughters have equal rights as that of sons.

In your case the property was self acquired and it was not partitioned...may be the marriage of the daughters was solemnized before 1990 they still have a right/ share in the property of the deceased father.

it shall be an equal share as to be given to the sons....if mother is alive she will also succeed with an equal share.

Yes the daughters have equal rights in the properties with the brothers in equal undivided share.

While the daughter would get her share in the inheritance of the self-acquired property left behind by the father, whether or not she will get a share in the partition of the HUF property would depend upon the answer to the following questions:
(i) when did her father die?
(ii)in which State the HUF is.
(iii) Whether her mother was alive when father died?
