To find the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts, we first need to determine how many pants and shirts Elijah brought.

We know:
- Total shirts = 10
- Josiah's shirts = 6
- Therefore, Elijah's shirts = 10 - 6 = **4 shirts**

We also know:
- Total pants = 6
- Josiah's pants = 4
- Therefore, Elijah's pants = 6 - 4 = **2 pants**

Now we can find the ratio of Elijah’s pants to shirts:

Elijah's pants = 2
Elijah's shirts = 4

The ratio of pants to shirts is:

\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Elijah's pants}}{\text{Elijah's shirts}} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}
\]

Since the response options given represent fractions in a different way, we format this ratio as:

- **2:4**

Thus, the correct answer is:

**24 Start Fraction 2 over 4 End Fraction**.
