1. The original ratio is $$5:1$$.

2. To check which option is equivalent, we simplify each ratio:

- **Option (a):** $$10:16$$  
     Simplify by dividing both numbers by 2:  
     $$
     \frac{10}{2} : \frac{16}{2} = 5:8.
     $$
     Since $$5:8 \neq 5:1$$, option (a) is not equivalent.

- **Option (b):** $$5:1$$  
     This is exactly the same as the original ratio.

- **Option (c):** $$25:30$$  
     Simplify by dividing both numbers by 5:  
     $$
     \frac{25}{5} : \frac{30}{5} = 5:6.
     $$
     Since $$5:6 \neq 5:1$$, option (c) is not equivalent.

3. Therefore, the equivalent ratio for $$5:1$$ is:

$$
\boxed{5:1}
$$
The equivalent ratio for $$5:1$$ is $$5:1$$.
