Solution

The correct option is D HCF
To find the simplest form of a ratio, we have to divide both the antecedent and the consequent by their HCF.
For example,
Find the simplest form of 12: 15
HCF of 12 and 15 = 3
Now divide both 12 and 15 by 3 $\Rightarrow$ 4:5
So the simplest form of 12:15 is 4:5
