Answer

(c) $R_{A}=3R_{B}$

Work Step by Step

Schwarzschild radius of the black hole is given by :- $R=\frac{2GM}{c^{2}}$ where M is mass of the black hole so, R is directly proportional to M. So if the mass of black hole A is three times the mass of black hole B, then the Schwarzschild radius of A is three times that of black hole B. i.e. $R_{A}=3R_{B}$
