Let second part = 4xand third part = 3xFirst part = 25 of the
second part given⇒ First part = 25 × 4x = 85xNow, sum
of the three parts = 215Thus, 85x + 4x + 3x = 215⇒ 85x + 7x =
215⇒ 8x + 35x5 = 215⇒ 43x5 = 215⇒ x = 215 ×
543 = 25Hence first part = 85 × 25 = Rs 40Second part = 4
× 25 = Rs 100Third part = 3 × 25 = Rs 75
