25 : 12 : 15

24 : 20 : 15

4 : 2 : 15

12 : 21 : 19

None of these

To determine the ratio between the time taken by cars A, B, and C to travel the same distance, follow these steps:

- The speed of cars A, B, and C is in the ratio of 5:6:8.

- The time taken to travel the same distance is inversely proportional to speed.

- Thus, the time ratio will be the inverse of the speed ratio: 1/5 : 1/6 : 1/8.

To simplify:

- Convert to a common denominator (in this case, 120):

- A: 120/5 = 24

- B: 120/6 = 20

- C: 120/8 = 15

- The ratio of time taken is 24:20:15.

Therefore, the correct option is Option 2: 24 : 20 : 15.
