If `2a = 3b = 4c`, then ` a : b : c` will be

A

`3 : 4 : 6`

B

`4 : 3 : 6`

C

`3 : 6 : 4`

D

`6 : 4 : 3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Given that `2a = 3b = 4c " or, " a/(1/2)= b/(1/3) = c/(1/4)`
` :. A : b : c = 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4 = 6 : 4 : 3` [multiplying by 12]
` :.` (d) is correct.
