Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to understand that the parts are proportional to the fractions 1/2, 2/3, and 3/4.

Step 1: Convert the fractions to the same denominator to make them comparable. The least common multiple of 2, 3, and 4 is 12. So, we convert the fractions as follows:

1/2 = 6/12 2/3 = 8/12 3/4 = 9/12

Step 2: Add these fractions together to find the total parts:

6/12 + 8/12 + 9/12 = 23/12

Step 3: Now, divide the total amount Rs. 582 by the total parts 23/12 to find the value of one part:

582 / (23/12) = 582 * (12/23) = 304.174

Step 4: To find the first part, multiply the value of one part by the fraction representing the first part (6/12):

304.174 * (6/12) = 152.087

So, the first part is approximately Rs. 152.087. The closest option to this value is 151.8. Therefore, the first part is Rs. 151.8.
