Given that a, b, c are three positive integers.
a and b are in the ratio 3 : 4 while b and c are in the ratio 2 : 1.
Therefore, 3n + 4n + 2n = 9n.
We have to find the possible value of (a + b + c) and it should be a multiple of 9.
Hence we can check out with the given options as it should be a multiple of 9.
9n = 207 is the only possible value of (a + b + c).
Answer
207
