Correct Answer: 42


Solution : Given:
The sum of three numbers $= 252$
Let the second number be $x$.
Since the first number is thrice the second and the third number is $\frac{2}{3}$rd of the first.
Thus, the first number is $3x$.
The third number is $\frac {2}{3} × 3x = 2x$
$x+3x+2x=252 $
⇒ $6x=252$
⇒ $x=\frac{252}{6}=42$
Hence, the correct answer is $42$.
