Solution

The correct option is D
(d) None of the above

Since we have the ratio of three numbers therefore the three numbers can be written in the form of 2x, 3x, 4x. We have the LCM of the three numbers i.e.948 and LCM of three numbers 2x,3x,4x = 12x where x is a multiple and 12x = 948; X = 79; Therefore the smallest number among three is 158, so d is the right answer.
