Answer:

The correct answer is a) x is 2/3 of y.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a ratio, the order in which you put the numbers allows us to know which is greater. Since the ratio states x first, it goes with the first number (2). Since it is multiplied by a factor of 2 and the y is multiplied  by a factor of 3, the x will always be 2/3 of the y.
