Correct Answer: 4 : 6 : 3


Solution : Given: The three racers' speed ratio is 3 : 2 : 4.
We know that time is inversely proportional to speed.
So, the respective ratio of time = $\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{4}$
= $\frac{12}{3}:\frac{12}{2}:\frac{12}{4}$ [Multiplying each ratio by 12]
= 4 : 6 : 3
Hence, the correct answer is 4 : 6 : 3.
