The correct answer is: $\mathrm{a}=2, \mathrm{~b}=3, \mathrm{c}=1$
We have vertices $\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{a}, 3,1) ; \mathrm{B}(4,5, \mathrm{~b}) ; \mathrm{C}(6, \mathrm{c}, 5)$ and $\mathrm{G}(4,3,3)$ of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$
$$
\frac{\mathrm{a}+4+6}{3}=4, \frac{3+5+\mathrm{c}}{3}=3, \frac{1+\mathrm{b}+5}{3}=3 \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}=2, \mathrm{c}=1, \mathrm{~b}=3
$$
