It is given that
By cross multiplication
\[a\text{ }+\text{ }b\text{ }=\text{ }5a\text{ }\text{ }5b\]
We can write it as
\[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}}
5a\text{ }\text{ }a\text{ }\text{ }5b\text{ }\text{ }b\text{ }=\text{ }0 \\
4a\text{ }\text{ }6b\text{ }=\text{ }0 \\
4a\text{ }=\text{ }6b \\
\end{array}\]
We get.
\[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}}
a/b\text{ }=\text{ }6/4 \\
a/b\text{ }=\text{ }3/2 \\
\therefore a:\text{ }b\text{ }=\text{ }3:\text{ }2 \\
\end{array}\]
