b. 574, 582, 567
c. 836, 760, 778
d. 882, 582, 567

Explanation:

Step1: Understand Rounding to Nearest Hundred

When rounding to the nearest hundred, we look at the tens and ones digits. A number rounds to 600 if it is in the range $550 \leq n < 650$ (because numbers from 550 to 649 round to 600 when rounding to the nearest hundred).

Step2: Check Each Option

• Option A: 582 (rounds to 600), 567 (rounds to 600), 836 (rounds to 800) → 836 is invalid.
• Option B: 574 (rounds to 600), 582 (rounds to 600), 567 (rounds to 600) → All in $550 - 649$ range.
• Option C: 836 (rounds to 800), 760 (rounds to 800), 778 (rounds to 800) → All invalid.
• Option D: 882 (rounds to 900), 582 (rounds to 600), 567 (rounds to 600) → 882 is invalid.

Answer:

B. 574, 582, 567
