The total sum to be divided = ₹851
Ratio of division = (1/2 : 2/3 : 3/4)
Solution:
The ratios are (1/2), (2/3), and (3/4).
The least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators (2, 3, and 4) is 12.
⇒ Convert each fraction to have the denominator of 12:
First part = 1/2 × 12 = 6
Second part = 2/3 × 12 = 8
Third part = 3/4 × = 9
Total parts = (6 + 8 + 9 = 23)
⇒ Calculate the first part's share of the total ₹851:
First part = Total sum × (First part's ratio / Total parts)
⇒ ₹851 × (6 / 23)
⇒ ₹851 × (6 / 23)
⇒ ₹222
Hence, the first part is 222.
