A. 2 : 3 : 4
B. 3 : 4 : 2
C. 4 : 6 : 3
D. 6 : 4 : 3
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
$$\eqalign{ & 2A = 3B \cr & Or,\,B = \left( {\frac{2}{3}} \right)A;\,{\text{and}} \cr & 2A = 4C \cr & Or,\,C = \left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)A; \cr & {\text{Hence}}, \cr & A:B:C = A:\frac{{2A}}{3}:\frac{A}{2} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 1:\frac{2}{3}:\frac{1}{2} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 6:4:3 \cr} $$Join The Discussion
