Solution
Let the angles of the triangle be $19x , 10x , 7x$
=> Sum of angles = $19x + 10x + 7x = 180^{\circ}$
=> $36x = 180^{\circ}$
=> $x = \frac{180}{36} = 5^{\circ}$
=> Angles are = $95^{\circ} , 50^{\circ} , 35^{\circ}$
$\therefore$ Sum of thrice the smallest angle and the twice the largest angle
= $(3 \times 35^{\circ}) + (2 \times 95^{\circ})$
= $105 + 190 = 295^{\circ}$
