Solution

The correct option is C 5:2
For every 6 vanilla cones sold, 15 chocolate cones were sold.

Hence, the ratio of the chocolate cones sold to the vanilla cones sold = 15 : 6 = $\frac{15}{6}$

On dividing both numerator and denominator by 3, we get

$\frac{15 \div 3}{6 \div 3} = \frac{5}{2}$

Therefore, the required ratio is 5 : 2.
