As we learnt in 

Series Grouping -

\frac{1}{C_{eq}}=\frac{1}{C_{1}}+\frac{1}{C_{2}}+\cdots

- wherein

 

 and

Parallel Grouping -

C_{eq}=C_{1}+C_{2}+\cdots

- wherein

 

 Between A and B, 3 capacitors are in series and they are in parallel with capacitance between A and B.

C_{1} = \frac{C\times 3C}{C+3C} = \frac{3C}{4}

Between A and C:

Two capacitors are in series and in turn they are parallel.

C_{2} = \frac{2C\times 2C}{2C+2C} = C

Ratio = \frac{3}{4}
