Correct Answer: 6 : 4 : 3
Solution : If speed is inversely proportional to time, the ratio of time taken will be inverse to the ratio of the speed. Given ratio = 2 : 3 : 4 Inverse of the given speed ratio = $\frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{3} : \frac{1}{4}$ Taking the LCM of (2, 3, 4) = 12 Now multiplying the given ratio by 12, we get, Inverse of the given speed ratio = $\frac{1}{2} \times 12 : \frac{1}{3} \times 12: \frac{1}{4}\times 12$ Inverse of the given speed ratio = 6 : 4 : 3 $\therefore$ the ratio of time taken by Aman, Kamal, and Manan is 6 : 4 : 3. Hence, the correct answer is 6 : 4 : 3.
