The correct answer is: -45
Given point $\mathrm{A}(27,-243,81)$ in space, now images of point $A$ in xyh plane, yzh plane and zx-planes are B $(27,-243,-81), C(-27,-243,81)$ and $D(27,243,81)$ respectively.
Hence centroid of the triangle $\mathrm{BCD}$ is $=(9,-81,27) \equiv(\alpha, \beta, \gamma)$ hence, $\alpha+\beta+\gamma=-45$
