Answer:

A

$\boxed{a=(9)/(2)}}$

$\boxed{b=(15)/(2)}$

Explanation:

By ratio and proportion

Let's solve for "a" first:-

$\cfrac{a}{6} =\cfrac{6}{8}$

8a=36

$\cfrac{8a}{8}=\cfrac{36}{8}$

$\boxed{a=(9)/(2)}}$

Now, Let's solve for "b":-

$\cfrac{b}{6} =\cfrac{10}{8}$

8b=60

$\cfrac{8b}{8}=\cfrac{60}{8}$

$\boxed{b=(15)/(2)}$

Therefore, your answer is A!!!!
