Three boxes of granary of capacity 24kg, 36kg and 84 kg are completely filled with three varieties of granary wheat flour, corn flour and rice flour respectively.  All the three boxes were emptied and the three types of granary were throughly mixed and the mixture was put back in the three boxes. How much kg of wheat flour would be there in the third box?
