Let us assume the three number be 2a, 3a, 4a

Then,

Given, sum of cube of three numbers is 0.334125

i.e. (2a)3 + (3a)3 + (4a)3 = 0.334125

8a3 + 27a3 + 64a3 = 0.334125

99a3 = 0.334125

a3 = 0.334125/99

a3 = 0.003375

a3 = 3375/1000000

a = 3√(3375/1000000)

a = 3√((15 × 15 × 15)/(10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10))

a = 3√(153/106)

a = 15/1000

a = 0.015

∴The numbers are, 2a = 2 × 0.015 = 0.03

3a = 3 × 0.015 = 0.045

4a = 4 × 0.015 = 0.06
