The correct options are

The two numbers which form the ratio are called the ' Terms of the ratio'.

The first of the two quantities forming a ratio is called Antecedent and the second one is called the Consequent,

8 is the antecedent and 5 is the consequent of the ratio.

Ratio = Antecedent : Consequent
