 1/5 + 2/3 + 1/4

LCM is 60

12 + 40 + 15

= 67/60

so by adding all the ratios it comes to 67/60

1/5 of 67/60 of 536

67/60 = 1.1166666667

1/5 = 0.20

0.20/1.1166666667 * 536

= 96

Now

2/3 / 67/60 of 536

2/3 = 0.666666667

0.66666667 / 1.116666667 * 536

= 320

Now

1/4 = 0.25

0.25 / 1.11666666667 * 536

= 120

So add 120+320 + 96 = 536

Cheers

Best of luck for your exams
