The correct answer is: $122$
$\begin{aligned} & f(x)=3 x^3-18 x^2+27 x-40 \\ & \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=9 x^2-36 x+27 \\ & =9(x-1)(x-3)\end{aligned}$
Sign scheme for $f^{\prime}(x)$

Now, $x^2+30 \leq 11 x$
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow(x-5)(x-6) \leq 0 \\ & \Rightarrow x \in[5,6]\end{aligned}$
For the interval $[5,6] f(x)$ is increasing
Hence $f_{\max }=f(6)$
$\forall x \in[5,6]$ i.e. on the set S
$=3 \times 6^3-18 \times 6^2+27 \times 6-40=122$
