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
