It is given that,

The cost of a dozen bananas is Rs 180.

∴ The cost of 12 bananas is Rs 180.

∴ The cost of 1 banana is = Rs (180/12)

                                         = Rs 15

∴ The cost of 1 banana is Rs 15.

The cost of 8 lemons is Rs 56.

∴ The cost of 1 lemon is = Rs (56/8)

                                        = Rs 7

∴ The cost of 1 lemon is Rs 7.

∴ The ratio of the cost of banana to the cost of lemon is_

15:7

= 15/7    

= 15:7 [∵ There is no common multiple between 15 and 7 except 1.]

Hence, the ratio is 15:7
