I am getting 3/5 : 5/7 : 8/21

Question:
If A : B =  \(\cfrac{3}{5} : \cfrac{5}{7}\) , B: C = \(\cfrac{3}{4} : \cfrac{2}{5} \) , then what is A : B : C equal to ? 
Options:
A) \(\cfrac{3}{5} : \cfrac{5}{7} : \cfrac{2}{5}\)
B) \(\cfrac{9}{20} : \cfrac{15}{28} : \cfrac{2}{7}\)
C) \(\cfrac{3}{5} : \cfrac{3}{4} : \cfrac{2}{5}\)
D) \(\cfrac{3}{5} : \cfrac{5}{7} : \cfrac{3}{4}\)
Solution:
Ans: (b)


alt sol:


A:B = 3/5 : 5/7 and B:C = 3/4 : 2/5


To get A:B:C ,


A:B = 3/4 * 3/5 : 3/4 * 5/7 = 9/20 : 15/28


B:C = 5/7 * 3/4 : 5/7 * 2/5 = 15/28 : 10/35


A:B:C = 9/20 : 15:28 : 10/35


or, A:B:C = 9/20 : 15/28 : 2/7
