Correct Answer: 3 : 2


Solution : The number 84 must be a multiple of the sum of the terms of the ratio.
By checking options
Option 1. The sum of 5 and 7 = 12 which divides 84.
Option 2. The sum of 13 and 8 = 21 which divides 84.
Option 3. The sum of 1 and 3 = 4 which divides 84.
Option 4. The sum of 3 and 2 = 5 which does not divide 84.
Hence, the correct answer is 3 : 2.
