Correct Answer: 6
Solution : Given: $(a + b) : (b + c) : (c + a) = 6 : 7 : 8$ $a+b+c = 14$ Let be $a+b = 6x$ , $b+c = 7x$ and $c+a = 8x$ $\therefore 2(a+b+c)=6x+7x+8x$ ----------------------------(1) ⇒ $(a+b+c)=\frac{6x+7x+8x}{2}$ ⇒ $6x+c = 10.5x$ $\therefore c = 10.5x-6x=4.5x$ From equation 1 we get, $2×14=6x+7x+8x$ [as $a+b+c = 14$ ] $\therefore x = \frac{28}{21}=\frac{4}{3}$ $\therefore c = 4.5\times \frac{4}{3}= 6$ Hence, the correct answer is 6.
