Correct Answer: 216
Solution : Let the first number be $6x$, the second number be $3x$, and the third number $2x$. The average of the three numbers $= \frac{6 x+3x+2x}{3}= \frac{11x}{3}$ According to the question, $\frac{11x}{3}=198$ $⇒11x=594$ $\therefore x=54$ The difference between the first and the third number $=(6x−2x)=4x=4×54=216$ Hence, the correct answer is 216.
