Answer: (C) 99
Explanation
Let the three numbers be x, y, and z. Since their average is 77, their sum is: x + y + z = 77 × 3 = 231
We are given that the first number x is 3/4 times the sum of the other two numbers: x = (3/4) × (y + z) y + z = (4/3) × x
Substituting this value of y + z into the sum equation: x + (4/3) × x = 231 (7/3) × x = 231 x = 231 × 3/7 x = 33 × 3 x = 99
