If ₹782 is divided into three parts in the ratio 1/2 : 2/3 : 3/4, what will be the difference between the first and the second parts?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Given:
Ratio = 1/2 : 2/3 : 3/4
Total Amount = 782
LCM (2, 3, 4) = 12
Ratio = (6 : 8 : 9)
Sum = 6 + 8 + 9 = 23
First Part = (6/23) × 782 = 204
Second Part = (8/23) × 782 = 272
Difference = 272 − 204 = 68
