{'ratio': [1, 0, 1, 12], 'mathematics': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'students': [0, 1, 1, 1], 'subjects': [5, 2, 6, 8], 'number': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'english': [1, 0, 0, 0]}

Option 1: 1:1 - This means that the number of students who passed in English is equal to the number of students who passed in Mathematics. However, the given information does not indicate that this is the case. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

Option 2: 2:3 - This means that for every 2 students who passed in English, there are 3 students who passed in Mathematics. The given information does not provide enough details to determine if this ratio is correct or not. Therefore, we cannot confirm if this option is correct or incorrect.

Option 3: 5:7 - This means that for every 5 students who passed in English, there are 7 students who passed in Mathematics. This ratio is not explicitly mentioned in the given information, so we cannot confirm if this is the correct answer.

Option 4: 10:9 - This means that for every 10 students who passed in English, there are 9 students who passed in Mathematics. The given information does not provide enough details to determine if this ratio is correct or not. Therefore, we cannot confirm if this option is correct or incorrect.

In conclusion, based on the given information, we cannot determine the exact ratio of the number of
