Question

What is the smallest value?

Answer 1

`\bf{Given : (a)/(b) = (3)/(8)}`

`\bf{Given : (b)/(c) = (6)/(11)}`

The Least Common Multiple of 6 and 8 is 24

`\bf{\implies (a)/(b) = (9)/(24)}`

`\bf{\implies (b)/(c) = (24)/(44)}`

⇒ Smallest Possible Value of a is 9

⇒ Smallest Possible Value of b is 24

⇒ Smallest Possible Value of c is 44

⇒ Smallest Possible Value of a + b + c is (9 + 24 + 44) = 77
