E. None of these
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Let the principal be P and rate of interest be R%.Therefore Required ratio
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{{ {\frac{{P \times R \times 6}}{{100}}} }}{{ {\frac{{P \times R \times 9}}{{100}}} }} \cr & = \frac{{6PR}}{{6PR}} \cr & = \frac{6}{9} \cr & = 2:3 \cr} $$
