∴  Second number = 3x
 Third number = fraction numerator 3 straight x over denominator 4 end fraction
Now, According to the question,
   rightwards double arrow space space space space straight x plus 3 straight x plus fraction numerator 3 straight x over denominator 4 end fraction space equals space 3 space cross times space 114
rightwards double arrow space space space fraction numerator 4 straight x plus 12 straight x plus 3 straight x over denominator 4 end fraction space equals space 342
rightwards double arrow space space space space space 19 straight x space equals space 342 space cross times space 4 space
