Explanation:

To solve the problem, follow these steps:

- Ratios:

- A:B = 3:2

- B:C = 9:8

- C:D = 4:3

- Adjust Ratios:

- Combine ratios:

- A:B = 3:2 can be written as 27x:18x (multiply by 9)

- B:C = 9:8 can be written as 18x:16x (multiply by 2)

- C:D = 4:3 can be written as 16x:12x

- Express Shares:

- A = 27x, B = 18x, C = 16x, D = 12x

- Given Difference:

- B - D = Rs 708

- 18x - 12x = Rs 708

- 6x = Rs 708

- x = Rs 118

- Total Sum (x):

- A + B + C + D = 27x + 18x + 16x + 12x = 73x

- Total = 73 * 118 = Rs 8,614

So, the value of x is Rs 8,614.
