Adding given equation a xor c=876. There are infinite number of a,b,c satisfying this equations, because if we have 1 triplet, we can switch binary digit of all numbers and get another triplet. But if we know a, xoring it with first will give us b, and then c from the second. If we know b, xor it with 1 and 2 and get a and c immediatly.
