[A].
2 : 3 : 4
[B]. 6 : 7 : 8
[C]. 6 : 8 : 9[D]. None of these

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Originally, let the number of seats for Mathematics, Physics and Biology be 5x, 7x and 8x respectively.

Number of increased seats are (140% of 5x), (150% of 7x) and (175% of 8x).

140 x 5x , 150 x 7x and 175 x 8x
100 100 100

7x, 21x and 14x.
2

The required ratio = 7x : 21x : 14x
2

14x : 21x : 28x

2 : 3 : 4.
