Presuming that you are Hanafi Sunni as most Muslims in the country are, here is how the property would go.
Your father's second wife - would take 1/6th of the property.
Out of the 5/6th left - each brother would take 2/11th i.e 10/66 - and step sister - would take 1/11th of 5/6th i.e 5/66 of the total property the rest would go to second mother.
Feel free to ask for any clarifications.

I stand corrected my reply.
I failed to notice the religion of the author.

Even i'd have to correct myself ....widow gets 1/8th - and out of the 7/8th left - sons take double the share of the daughers.

Dear Bharat, thanks for throwing light on the above.

Since second marriage is legal.. children from second marriage are legitimate.. so second wife gets a share of 1/8th of total property and the children should get
daughter= 7/80
sons each= 7/40
and the remaining 7/80 is residuary.. to be divided among the sons equally..
The share always depends on the presence or absence of other heirs such as your Father's father or mother...
And are you a sunni or shia?
