BC < AC < AB
AB < AC < AB
BC < AB < AC

Answer
Given,
2∠A = 3∠B
⇒ ∠A : ∠B = 3 : 2
⇒ ∠A = 3x° and ∠B = 2x°
In △ABC,
By angle sum property of triangle,
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 3x° + 2x° + 100° = 180°
⇒ 5x° = 180° - 100°
⇒ 5x° = 80°
⇒ x° =
⇒ x° = 16°
⇒ ∠A = 3x° = 3 × 16° = 48°
⇒ ∠B = 2x° = 2 × 16° = 32°
We know that,
The longest side of a triangle has the largest angle opposite to it.
Since, C is the largest angle, thus AB is longest side of the triangle.
The shortest side of a triangle has the smallest angle opposite to it.
Since, B is the smallest angle, thus AC is smallest side of the triangle.
∴ AC < BC < AB.
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
