Correct Answer: 21


Solution : Given: Three numbers are in the ratio 5 : 6 : 7.
Let the numbers be $5x,6x,$ and $7x$, respectively.
The product of the number is 5670.
According to the question,
$5x×6x×7x = 5670$
⇒ $x^{3}=\frac{5670}{5×6×7}$
⇒ $x^{3} = 27$
$\therefore x = 3$
$\therefore$ The greatest number $=7x = 7 ×3= 21$
Hence, the correct answer is 21.
