In case of parallel reaction, A is a reactant, in forward reaction condition concentration of reactant decreases with time whereas concentration of both the products increases with time.

\\\text{Rate of formation of }\mathrm{B}=\left[\frac{d[B]}{d t}\right]=K_1[A]\\ \\\text{Rate of formation of} \; \mathrm{C}=\left[\frac{d[C]}{d t}\right]=K_2[A]

Since as per question K_2 \ggg K_1 thus at a particular time concentration of [\mathrm{C}]>[\mathrm{B}]

Thus, in concentration \mathrm{v} / \mathrm{s} time curve line with respect to \text{C} lies above \text{B}.
