Answer: 299

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Family removes one-third of tress in June as much as they dd in July

They remove twice the number of July in august

Suppose they removed x trees in July

for June it is, $\frac{x}{3}$

for August, it is $2x$

If they removed less than 1000 tress in 3 months

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{3}+x+2x$

So, maximum number of tress removed in July is 299
