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.

Ratios.
1/2 equal to .5
2/3 equal to .66
3/4 equal to .75.
Sum of ratio equal to 1.91
Then 1 ratio =782 /1.91 is 407.
First part ratio =0.5,
= 407 * .5 = 203.5=> i.e 204.

1/2+2/3+3/4 = 23/12.
We need first part i.e 1/2.
1/2 * 12/23 * 782 = 204.
