I think the interviewer ask this problem is to check the knowledge of read file.
need to use the way to reduce the system call time.
so mmap() is good choice I think.

When the data is more than your memory, you can do it by inserting data into the B-Trees. Primarily insert file 1 data into the tree, then insert 2nd data into the tree. Now write the data in to the 3rd file. This would run in O(n log n).
