Which of the following statements is correct for the activation energy of a reaction?

$A$ reaction takes place in three steps with individual rate constant and activation energy,
Step Rate constant and Activation energy
$Step \ 1$ $k_1, E_{a_1} = 180 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$Step \ 2$ $k_2, E_{a_2} = 80 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$Step \ 3$ $k_3, E_{a_3} = 50 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$

Overall rate constant,$k = (k_1 k_2 / k_3)^{2/3}$. The overall activation energy of the reaction will be ........ $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
