I have 3 nRF52840 dongles and want to setup a mesh network between them. Which example from the SDK should I execute and how will i come to know if its working fine.

Hi,
Unfortunately, the Mesh SDK does not support the nRF52840 Dongle(PCA10059) as of now. You will need a development board to test the Mesh SDK. You can see which board are compatible here.
The Mesh SDK doesn't support the nRF52840 Dongle out of the box, but it should be possible to port DK examples to the dongle. That will require you to do some modifications to the code. I recommend you to use a development kit instead as the SDK already have support for it.
I think Nordic should port the examples to the dongle.
For instance, the "nRF52840 Dongle Programming Tutorial" says "The nRF52840 Dongle is a superb companion for several nRF Connect for Desktop apps and is a good device for doing large scale mesh test setups and similar". Which doesn't make sense if the Mesh SDK doesn't support the dongle.
