Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India

this is pretaining to the hindu succession act 1956 amended in yr 2005 as per provision of law in india and division of property as on date

the said property is in name of the late husband who has eight children (one from first wife and seven from second wife), the widows of the husband are not alive and there is no will left by the husband.

I would like to know that how will the property be divided among these eight sons and daughters (out of these one is not surviving, son from first wife, who further has one son and two daughters)

option one - the whole property in name of late husband shall be divided between two wives and subsequently to the respective children

option two - the property shall be divided to all in equal proportions i.e. 1/8 each
