\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}

Given cubic polynomial is represented as

 \rm :\longmapsto\:  {x}^{3} - 6 {x}^{2} + 11x - 6 = (x - a)(x - b)(x - c)

Let first factorize the cubic polynomial,

\rm :\longmapsto\:Let \: f(x) =  {x}^{3} -  {6x}^{2} + 11x - 6

\rm :\longmapsto\:Let \: x = 1

So,

\rm :\longmapsto\:f(1) =  {(1)}^{3} - 6 {(1)}^{2} + 11 \times 1 - 6

\rm \:  \:  =  \: 1 - 6 + 11 - 6

\rm \:  \:  =  \: 12 - 12

\rm \:  \:  =  \: 0

\bf\implies \:x - 1 \: is \: a \: factor \: of \: f(x).

So,

☆ By long division, we have

\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered} \:\: \begin{array}{c|c} {\underline{\sf{}}}&amp;{\underline{\sf{\:\: {x}^{2} - 5x  + 6\:\:}}}\\ {\underline{\sf{x - 1}}}&amp; {\sf{\: {x}^{3}-{6x}^{2} + 11x - 6 \:\:}} \\{\sf{}}&amp; \underline{\sf{ \:  \: -{x}^{3}  \: +{x}^{2}   \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: \:\:}} \\ {{\sf{}}}&amp; {\sf{\: \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: \: -  {5x}^{2} + 11x - 6  \:  \:  \:  \:   \:  \:  \:  \:\:}} \\{\sf{}}&amp; \underline{\sf{\:\: \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:   \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: 5{x}^{2} - 5x  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: \:\:}} \\ {\underline{\sf{}}}&amp; {\sf{\:\: \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:   \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: 6x - 6 \:\:}} \\{\sf{}}&amp; \underline{\sf{\: \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: \: - 6x + 6\:\:}} \\ {\underline{\sf{}}}&amp; {\sf{\:\: \:  \: \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  0\:\:}}  \end{array}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}

We know,

  • Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

\rm :\longmapsto\:f(x) = (x - 1)( {x}^{2} - 5x + 6)

\rm \:  \:  =  \: (x - 1)( {x}^{2}  - 3x - 2x + 6)

\rm \:  \:  =  \: (x - 1)\bigg(x(x - 3) - 2(x - 3)\bigg)

\rm \:  \:  =  \: (x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 3)

\bf\implies \: {x}^{3} -  {6x}^{2}  + 11x - 6 = (x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 3)

☆ On comparing with,

 \rm :\longmapsto\:  {x}^{3} - 6 {x}^{2} + 11x - 6 = (x - a)(x - b)(x - c)

☆ We get ,

 \rm :\longmapsto\:  (x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 3) = (x - a)(x - b)(x - c)

As it is given that a < b < c

\bf\implies \:a = 1  \: \: and \:  \: b  = 2  \: \: and \: \: c  = 3\:

Now,

Consider,

\bf :\longmapsto\:2a + b + c

\rm \:  \:  =  \: 2 \times 1 + 2 + 3

\rm \:  \:  =  \: 2 + 2 + 3

\rm \:  \:  =  \: 7

  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: \red{\bf\implies \:2a + b + c = 8}
