AS THE MINIMUM LENGTH IS 6400,

THE 2 TAPES CAN BE OF LENGTH 6400,

SO THE NEXT ONE WILL BE MAX= (6800*3)-(2*6400)=7600

Let 3 ropes be x,y and z
given (x+y+z)/3 =6800
so 2 ropes must be 6400 each (minimum)
(6400+6400+z)/3=6800
which gives z=7600

x+y+z
----- = 6800
3
x>=6400
6400 + y + z = 20400
y + z = 14000
to get the greatest of y and z, lets assume y = 6400
so, z = 7600
so ANS is 7600
