A) 7:3	B) 5:3
C) 8:5	D) 2:7

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5:3

$W 1 : A 1 W 2 : A 2 . . . . . W N : A N$

2 : 3 4 : 5 5 : 7

$\frac{W 1}{W 1 + A 1} = \frac{2}{5} \frac{W 2}{W 2 + A 2} = \frac{4}{9} \frac{W N}{W N + A N} = \frac{5}{12}$

= 72/180

= 80/180

= 75/180

=> 5 : 3

Therefore, the ratio is 5: 3
