      Solution

      ATQ;
      Let smallest odd number = x

      Then smallest even number = 3x

      Numbers: (x, x+2, x+4) and (3x, 3x+2, 3x+4, 3x+6)

      Sum = x + (x+2) + (x+4) + 3x + (3x+2) + (3x+4) + (3x+6) = 315

      11x + 18 = 315

      11x = 297

      x = 27

      Largest even number = 3x + 6 = 81 + 6 = 87
