What is the ratio of a : b : c?

1) c/a = 3 and c/b = 2

2) ab = c and c = 6

1) c/a = 3 and c/b = 2

=> a = c/3 and b = c/2

Thus, the ratio a : b : c = c/3 : c/2 : c = 1/3 : 1/2 : 1. Sufficient

2) ab = c and c = 6

=> ab = 6 => a = 6/b

Thus, the ratio a : b : c = 6/b : b : 6. We do not have the value of b. Insufficient

The correct answer: A

Hope this helps!
