+ AnswerB

+ ExplanationLet these part be x.y and `[2189 - (x + y)`.Then,

`(x xx 1 xx 4)/100`

`= (y xx 2 xx 4)/100`

`= ([2189 - (x + y)] xx 3 xx 4)/100`

`:. x/y = 2`

`or x = 2y`

`:. (2y xx 1 xx 4)/100`

`= ((2189 - 3y) xx 3 xx 4)/100`

`or 44y = 2189 xx 12`.

`:. y = ((2189 xx 12)/44)`

`= 597`

:. Smallest part`= Rs. 597`.
