Correct answer
3

Step-by-step explanation

The total number of moles remains constant.

n1+n2+n3=nf

n1,n2, n3 moles of gases in the individual containers. nf is resultant moles.

Using ideal gas equation PV=nRT, we van write as 

P1V1RT+P2V2RT+P3V3RT=PfVfRT

P1V1+P2V2+P3V3=PfVf

2×2+4×3+3×4=Pf×9

Pf=2893
