Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
We have, S 1 :   2 , 5 , 8 , 11 , . . . , 359 Common difference is d 1 = 3 S 2 :   3 , 7 , 11 , 15 . . . , 399 Common difference is d 2 = 4 S 3 : 2 , 7 , 12 , 17 . . . , 197 Common difference is d 3 = 5 Now taking LCM of common difference we get, LCM d 1 ,   d 2 ,   d 3 = 60 So, common terms are 47 , 107 , 167 , Hence, the sum will be 47 + 107 + 167 = 321 .
