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.

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.

LCM OF 2,3,4 IS 12 THEN;
1/2 x 12 = 6 that's how it is done same to all u get.
6,8,9 then the sum of 8, 9, 6 is 23 that's how the answer comes first part 6/23 x 782 = 408.
1/2 x 12 = 6 that's how it is done same to all u get.
6,8,9 then the sum of 8, 9, 6 is 23 that's how the answer comes first part 6/23 x 782 = 408.

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 equal to .5
2/3 equal to .66
3/4 equal to .75.

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.

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

Solution:
1/2 = 0.5, 2/3 = 0.67 , 3/4 = 0.75.
After this Let's consider common factor k, so this becomes,
0.5k, 0.67k , 0.75k.
Add this 0.5k + 0.67k + 0.75k = 782.
Find k -
k=407.29.
And we want to derive 1st no so put the value of k into 0.5k, which becomes
0.5 * 407.29= 203.64 ~ 204.
1/2 = 0.5, 2/3 = 0.67 , 3/4 = 0.75.
