Answer
Correct option: A.
$2 : 3 : 4$
As, $\frac{\text{a}}{2}=\frac{\text{b}}{3}=\frac{\text{c}}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{2}=\frac{\text{b}}{3}$ and $\frac{\text{b}}{3}=\frac{\text{c}}{4}$
$\Rightarrow3\text{a}=2\text{b}$ and $4\text{b}=3\text{c}$ (By cross multiplication)
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}}=\frac{3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}:\text{b}=2:3$
$\therefore\text{a}:\text{b}:\text{c}=2:3:4$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(a).$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{2}=\frac{\text{b}}{3}$ and $\frac{\text{b}}{3}=\frac{\text{c}}{4}$
$\Rightarrow3\text{a}=2\text{b}$ and $4\text{b}=3\text{c}$ (By cross multiplication)
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}}=\frac{3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}:\text{b}=2:3$
$\therefore\text{a}:\text{b}:\text{c}=2:3:4$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(a).$
