Options:

$1: 3 : 9$

$9 : 3 : 1$

$3 : 9 : 1$

$3 : 4 : 3$

Correct Answer:

$1: 3 : 9$

Explanation:

Distance = Speed × Time

                                  C1    :    C2    :      C3

Distance                       1     :      2    :        3

Time                             3     :     2    :         1

-----------------------------------------------------------

Speed                \(\frac{1}{3}\) : \(\frac{2}{2}\) : \(\frac{3}{1}\)

                                    1    :     3     : 9

The correct answer is option (1) : $1: 3 : 9$
