Correct Answer - Option 3 : 36

Given:

a + b + c  = 10 

a, b, c are positive intergers

Calculation:

The possible combinations are (5, 3, 2) (2, 4, 4), (3, 3, 4), (2, 2, 6), (7, 2, 1), (8, 1, 1)

Product of the combinations 

⇒ 5 × 3 × 2 = 30

⇒ 2 × 4 × 4 = 32

⇒ 4 × 3 × 3 = 36

⇒ 2 × 2 × 6 = 24

⇒ 7 × 2 × 1 = 14

⇒ 8 × 1 × 1 = 8

 36 is the maximum product among the combinations.

∴ 36 is the maximum product of (a × b × c)
