The correct answer is: 44

Given: r1=12, r2=6, r3=4

r1=12

s-a=12

s-a=12    ...(1)

Also,  r2=6

s-b=6

s-b=6     .....(2)

Also, r3=4

s-c=4

s-c=4    ......(3)

Adding 1, 2 & 3, we have

3s-a+b+c=12+6+4

s=1+2+312

 =2s

From 1 2 & 3

Also, =12s-a=bs-b=4s-c

2s=12s-a=6s-b=4s-c

 s-a=2s12, s-b=2s6, s-c=2s4

 a=56s, b=23s, c=s2

Also, =ss-as-bs-c

2s=s2s122s62s4

4s2=s436

 s=12

Now,

a+2b+3c=56s+2×23s+3×s2

=56×12+2×23×12+3×126

=44
