Lt(t->0)(tan8t)/(tan5t)=8/5

Explanation:

Let us first find Lt_(x->0)tanx/x

Lt_(x->0)tanx/x=Lt_(x->0)(sinx)/(xcosx)

= Lt_(x->0)(sinx)/x xx Lt_(x->0)1/cosx

= 1xx1=1

Hence Lt_(t->0)(tan8t)/(tan5t)

= Lt_(t->0)((tan8t)/(8t))/((tan5t)/(5t))xx(8t)/(5t)

= (Lt_(8t->0)((tan8t)/(8t)))/(Lt_(5t->0)((tan5t)/(5t)))xx8/5

= 1/1xx8/5=8/5
