Solution

The correct option is B 5
Given,
the antecedent lies between 3 and 5 and is a multiple of 2.
The numbers between 3 and 5 that is a multiple of 2 is 4.

The consequent lies between 4 and 7. The numbers between 4 and 7 are 5,6
It is known that the consequent is divisible by 3
The consequent term is 6 since that is the only number between 4 and 7 that is divisible by 3

The required ratio is 4 : 6
In its simplest form 4 : 6 can be written as 2 : 3.

Sum of the antecedent and the consequent term is 2 + 3 = 5
