Let 3 A.P’s are 
S1 : 3, 7, 11, 15, ……, 399 with common difference 4 = d
S2 : 2, 5, 8, 11, ……, 359 with common difference 3 = d2 
S3 : 2, 7, 12, 17, ……,197 with common difference 5 = d3 
Common difference of A.P. formed by common terms of S1, S2, and S3 is D 
= L.C.M. of (d1, d2, d3) = 60 
So series S4 : 47, 107, 167
Sum of common terms of S4 is 32(47+107+167)=321
