    A 6:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 7:6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 8:7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 9:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let their ages be 3x, 4x, and 5x respectively.┬а
    So, MeeraтАЩs age = (4x - 6)
    ATQ,┬а
    5x - 3x = 24┬а
    Or, 2x = 24┬а
    Or, x = 12
    So, RituтАЩs age = 4 ├Ч 12 = 48┬а
    And, MeeraтАЩs age = 48 - 6 = 42
    Required ratio = 48:42 = 8:7┬а┬а
