    a-c-b

    Explanation:

    It is given that the three genes are present on the same chromosome. Out of them genes a and b are 10 cM apart so they are the farthest from each other. Gene c can lie between them according to the conditions given in the question. It will be 8cM apart from gene a and 2cM apart from gene b making the total distance as 10cm. Hence the final gene order will be a-c-b.
