A. 64:25
B. 8:5
C. 5:8
D. 25:64
E. None
3 leaps of hare = 4 leaps of jackal
for every six leaps of hare, jackal takes 5 leaps
=> for every 2* 3 leaps of hare, jackal takes 5 leaps
=> for every 2*4 leaps of hare's leaps in terms of jackal's, jackal takes 5 leaps
=> so hare takes 8 jackal leaps in time the jackal takes 5 leaps.
so ratio of speeds should be 8:5
