The correct answer is: 6: 3: 2

Given, Sides of triangle a=12, b=16, c=20.

s=a+b+c2=12+12+202=24

Therefore, Area of triangle ==ss-as-bs-c

                                                      =24×12×8×4=96

Ex-radii opposite to C=r3=s-c=964=24

Ex-radii opposite to B=r2=s-b=968=12

Ex-radii opposite to A=r1=s-a=9612=8

r1:r2:r3=24:12:8=6:3:2
