Given:

The different sets of ordered pairs in the options.

To find:

The sets of ordered pairs that show equivalent ratios

Solution:

The set of ordered pairs show equivalent ratios, if

(y)/(x)=k

Where, k is a constant.

For option 1,

(1, 2), (2, 3), (4, 7)

$(2)/(1)\\eq (3)/(2)$

For option 2,

(2, 2), (4, 4), (6, 6)

(2)/(2)=(4)/(4)=(6)/(6)=1=k

The set of ordered pairs (2, 2), (4, 4), (6, 6) show equivalent ratios.

For option 3,

(3, 1), (4, 1), (5, 1)

$(1)/(3)\\eq (1)/(4)$

For option 4,

(4, 1), (8, 2), (12, 3)

(1)/(4)=(2)/(8)=(3)/(12)=k

The set of ordered pairs (4, 1), (8, 2), (12, 3) show equivalent ratios.

For option 5,

(2, 1), (4, 3), (5, 4)

$(1)/(2)\\eq (3)/(4)$

So, sets of ordered pairs in options 1, 3 and 5 does not show equivalent ratios.

Therefore, the correct options are 2 and 4.
