Three range of private IP addresses has been selected for the three network class.

For Class A network, 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix) range (For big network that requires a huge pool of 16 million private IP addresses)

For Class B network, 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix) range (For medium-sized network that requires 65000 private IP addresses)

For Class C network, 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix) range (Commonly used IP range on smaller network for easier addressing of 254 IP addresses. May not necessarily be smaller network but network managed in smaller blocks.)
