A Correct answer
Explanation

The fractions traveling by bus and flight are 1/3 and 1/2. The fraction traveling by train is 1 - 1/3 - 1/2 = 1/6, so the train-to-flight ratio is 1/6 : 1/2 = 1 : 3.

AI explanation

Assume the total number of people is 6 for easy calculation, so 2 went by bus, 3 went by flight, and the remaining 1 went by train. The required ratio is the number of people who traveled by train to the number who traveled by flight, which is 1 : 3.
