We have to divide those fractions :
1/2 = 0.5,
2/3 = 0.66,
3/4 = 0.75.
Now the ratio will be 0.5 : 0.66 : 0.75.
To find 1st part:
First ratio/sum of all ratios)* Rs = (0.5/(0.5+0.66+0.75)) * 783 = 204.
1st part : 204.
1/2 = 0.5,
2/3 = 0.66,
3/4 = 0.75.
Now the ratio will be 0.5 : 0.66 : 0.75.
To find 1st part:
First ratio/sum of all ratios)* Rs = (0.5/(0.5+0.66+0.75)) * 783 = 204.
1st part : 204.

2,3,4 lcm is 12.
Then 12 is divided by (2,3,4 ) and multiply by 1,2,3 like( 1/2) * 12 = 6,
(2/3) * 12 = 8,
(3/4) * 12 = 9.
Then 12 is divided by (2,3,4 ) and multiply by 1,2,3 like( 1/2) * 12 = 6,
(2/3) * 12 = 8,
(3/4) * 12 = 9.

So,
X/2 + 2X/3 + 3X/4 = 782,
23X/12 = 782.
X = 408.
NOW, 1ST PART.
1/2 * (X)= 408/2 = 204.
X/2 + 2X/3 + 3X/4 = 782,
23X/12 = 782.
X = 408.
NOW, 1ST PART.
1/2 * (X)= 408/2 = 204.

Given ratio = 1/2 + 2/3 + 3/4
LCM = 12
(1 × 12/2) (2 × 12/3)(3×12/4)
Ratio = 6 : 8 : 9
The Total value of the ratio is 23;
Divide by 782/23;
Ans 204.

6 : 8 : 9 ?
6/8 = 9/x.
6x = 9×8.
x = 9×8/6.
x = 12.
6/8 = 9/x.
6x = 9×8.
x = 9×8/6.
x = 12.

Simply;
First of all, add all three items of ratio 1/2+2/3+3/4 = 1.916,
so you need to divide 782/1.916=408.
Here 408 is on 1.
All the last multiply first item 1/2*408 = 204.
