Detailed Solution

The given ratios are 5: 12 and 17: 30.
We can write it in fraction form as,
5:12 =512
17:30=1730
Now, the LCM of 12 and 30 is 60.
Therefore, multiplying and dividing 512 by 5 and 1730 by 2, we get,
5×512×5=2560
17×230×2=3460
We know that,
34 > 25
3460>2560
1730>512
17:30>5:12
Therefore 5:12 < 17:30.
Hence, the larger ratio is 17:30.
Hence option 2 is correct.
