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.
