If A = B/4 and B = C/2, then find the value of A : B : C ?

1. 8 : 4 : 1
2. 4 : 2 : 1
3. 1 : 4 : 8
4. 1 : 2 : 4

Correct Option: C

Given that, A = B/4
∴ A/B = 1/4 or A : B = 1 : 4
Also, B = C/2 or B/C = 1/2 or B : C = 1 :2
Now, we have A : B = 1 : 4; B : C = 1 : 2
A : B : C = ( 1 x 1 ) : ( 1 x 4 ) : ( 2 x 4 )
= 1 : 4 : 8
