As we know, current density \mathrm{J=n q v}

\mathrm{ \Rightarrow \quad j_e=n_e q v_e }

\mathrm{ \text { and } \quad J_h=n_h q v_h }

\mathrm{ \frac{j_e}{J_h}=\frac{n_e}{n_h} \times \frac{v_e}{v_n} }

\mathrm{ \Rightarrow \frac{3 / 4}{1 / 4}=\frac{n_e}{n_h} \times \frac{5}{2} }

\mathrm{ \Rightarrow \frac{n_e}{n_h}=\frac{6}{5}}

Hence option 1 is correct.
