Answer 6

the answer is 25...
Because the ratio is 2:3 so the sum of the two numbers can be the possible answer ..
Then the possible number of gmes will be..2+3=5,
4+6=10(multiplying the ratio by two)
6+9=15(multiplying the ratio by three)
8+12=20(multiplying the ratio by four)
10+15=25(multiplying the ratio by five
