Given data.
1/2 : 2/3 : 3/4 = 782.
=> (1/2)x:(2/3)x:(3/4)x = 782.
=> x/2 + 2x/3 + 3x/4 = 782.
L.C.M(2,3,4) = 12.
(6x+8x+9x)/12 = 782.
23x = 782 * 12.
x = 9384/23.
X = 408.
First part= (1/2) * 408 = 204.
1/2 : 2/3 : 3/4 = 782.
=> (1/2)x:(2/3)x:(3/4)x = 782.
=> x/2 + 2x/3 + 3x/4 = 782.
L.C.M(2,3,4) = 12.
(6x+8x+9x)/12 = 782.
23x = 782 * 12.
x = 9384/23.
X = 408.
First part= (1/2) * 408 = 204.

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.
