The rate of interest is 2:5 because 8% rate is per annum.
Since the question does not mention that, i would take it as the rate of interest for a period of 5 years instead of yearly.
 
Now requied ratio becomes 5:2/5, solving which we get 25:2. That is your answer.

Si = (p*r*t)÷100
2 = (5×5×r)÷100
r = 8%
8% = 8÷100 = 2 ÷ 25
Loan amount : interest
25 : 2
