Answer

$S = 1.516 \times 10^{-23} J/K$

Work Step by Step

The equation of entropy in statistical thermodynamics is $S = k\space ln W$ Taking W from (c) in system A that has the greatest multiplicity, we can find the greatest entropy in the system. And K is the Boltzmann's constant $k = 1.38 \times 10^{-23}J/K$ $S = (1.38 \times 10^{-23}J/K) \space ln 3$ $S = 1.516 \times 10^{-23} J/K$
