Correct Answer: 329784


Solution : For option 1, the sum of the digits = $3 + 2 + 9 + 7 + 8 + 7 = 36$ (Divisible by 3 and 9)
For option 2, the sum of the digits = $3 + 2 + 9 + 7 + 8 + 4 = 33$ (Divisible by 3 but not divisible by 9)
For option 3, the sum of the digits = $3 + 2 + 9 + 7 + 8 + 1 = 30$ (Divisible by 3 but not divisible by 9)
So, $329784$ and $329781$ are divisible by 3 but not divisible by 9
The greatest number among them = $329784$
Hence, the correct answer is $329784$.
