Answer 2

Given that cost of dozen bananas =  15 rupees.

               That means the cost of 12 bananas = 15 rupees.

               Then the cost of 1 banana = 15/12.

               
Given that cost of 8 oranges = 40

 Then the cost of 1 orange = 40/8

                                            = 5.


the ratio of cost of banana to the cost of orange = 15/12/5

                                                                                  = 15/60

                                                                                  = 1/4

                                                                                  = 1 : 4.

Hope this helps!
