Anonymous: wow you wasted all your points in this question ??
roopkatha: is the proportion true? 1:2 =4:6
Anonymous: no
roopkatha: but how??
Anonymous: 4/6 cancelling 2 we get 2:3
SaiVikesh: 3:4 is greater
PinkyTune: The ans. to your ques. is 3:4.
PinkyTune: Because, if we do 2/5 and 3/4 of the ratios then, if we consider 3/4 as 2/4, it will be greater than 2/5 that means 3/4 is greater than 2/4.And if 2/4 is greater than 2/5 then, obviously the ratio 3:4 > 2:5.
roopkatha: thanks everyone

If you don't want to divide then best way is that 


Let us assume that 2/5 > 3/4

⇒8 > 15 which is false so our assumption is wrong 

so 3/4 > 2/5

2:5 means 2/5 = 0.40

And

3:4 means 3/4 = 0.75

So clearly 0.75 is greater than than 0.40

Hence 3:4 is greater than 2:5
