A \rightarrow \frac{u^2}{4}-u^2=-2 g h_1 \\
B \rightarrow \frac{u^2}{9}-u^2=-2 g h_2 \\
C \rightarrow \frac{u^2}{16}-u^2=-2 g h_3 \\
{\therefore A B} =\frac{u^2}{2 g}\left\{\frac{8}{9}-\frac{3}{4}\right\}
 =\frac{u^2}{2 g} \cdot \frac{5}{36}     ...................(1)
{B C =\frac{u^2}{2 g}\left\{\frac{15}{16}-\frac{8}{9}\right\} }
 =\frac{u^2}{2 g} \cdot \frac{7}{144}  ...................(2)
\frac{A B}{B C} =\frac{5}{36} \times \frac{144}{7}

=\frac{20}{7}
