If only 3 digits are involved, the system has to be in base 3 with the digits 0,1,2. We can confirm the base using the examples provided.


In A Country, All Numbers Are Represented With The Help Of 3...

Thus, a=1 ,b=2 and c=0 (you can reconfirm using the other examples as well)


17 in base 3 = In A Country, All Numbers Are Represented With The Help Of 3... = abb.
