Answer: B) 2/3

====================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The order is important for ABC and XYZ so we can see what letters pair up.

  • A pairs with X since they are the first letters
  • B pairs with Y since they are the second letters
  • C pairs with Z since they are the third letters

Based on that, we can see that AB pairs with XY as they are the first two letters of ABC and XYZ respectively.

Divide the length XY over AB and reduce

XY/AB = 10/15 = 2/3

We could also divide XZ over AC

XZ/AC = 14/21 = 2/3

and we get the same ratio
