B. 8 : 9 : 24

C. 8 : 9 : 12

D. 8 : 9 : 16

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{let A}} = 2{\text{k}},\,{\text{B}} = 3{\text{k,}}\,{\text{C}} = 4{\text{k}} \cr & {\text{Then,}} \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{\text{A}}}{{\text{B}}} = \frac{{2{\text{k}}}}{{3{\text{k}}}} = \frac{2}{3}, \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{\text{B}}}{{\text{C}}} = \frac{{3{\text{k}}}}{{4{\text{k}}}} = \frac{3}{4}, \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{\text{C}}}{{\text{A}}} = \frac{{4{\text{k}}}}{{2{\text{k}}}} = 2 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{\text{A}}}{{\text{B}}}:\frac{{\text{B}}}{{\text{C}}}:\frac{{\text{C}}}{{\text{A}}} = \frac{2}{3}:\frac{3}{4}:2 \cr & = 8:9:24 \cr} $$
