Correct Answer: 20 : 21


Solution : Distance covered in 7 jumps of A = Distance covered in 5 jumps of B
Distance covered in 8 jumps of the A = $\frac{5}{7} \times 8$ jumps of the B = $\frac{40}{7}$ jumps of B
So, the required ratio = $\frac{40}{7}$ : 6 = 40 : 42 = 20 : 21
Hence, the correct answer is 20 : 21.
