You can also solve it by adding all the ratio like:
1/2x+2/3x+3/4x = 782,
23x/12=782.
x = 408.
Hence for first part: 408*1/2= "204"=> answer.
1/2x+2/3x+3/4x = 782,
23x/12=782.
x = 408.
Hence for first part: 408*1/2= "204"=> answer.

Take lcm of given ratio 1/2:2/3:3/4.
Lcm is 12.
So get 6:8:9,
Add 6, 8, 9 ans is 23,
So, 23 is 782 then 6 is 204.
Lcm is 12.
So get 6:8:9,
Add 6, 8, 9 ans is 23,
So, 23 is 782 then 6 is 204.

2500:1250:1250 Ans.
1+1/2+1/2= 1+0.5+0.5.
5000/2=2500.
1*2500=2500.
0.5*2500=1250.
0.5*2500=1250.
2500+1250+1250= 5000.
1+1/2+1/2= 1+0.5+0.5.
5000/2=2500.
1*2500=2500.
0.5*2500=1250.
0.5*2500=1250.
2500+1250+1250= 5000.
