      From the text: We study the ratios of parameters for Ramanujan's function \(\chi(q)\) and their explicit values. The function \(\chi(q)\) is closely connected with Ramanujan's class invariants \(G_n\) and \(g_n\) defined by \[ G_n = 2^{-1/4} q^{-1/24}\chi(q), \quad g_n = 2^{-1/4} q^{-1/24}\chi(-q), \] where \(q = e^{-\pi\sqrt{n}}\) and \(n\) is a positive rational number. We have \[ \chi(q) = 2^{1/6} \{\alpha(1 - \alpha)q^{-1}\}^{-1/24}, \quad \chi(-q) = 2^{1/6} (1 - \alpha)^{1/12}\alpha)^{-1/24} q^{-1/24}. \] \textit{N. Saikia} [ISRN Comput. Math. 2012, Article ID 169050, 14 p. (2012; Zbl 1345.11028)] introduced a parameter \(I_{m,n}\), which is defined as follows: \[ I_{m,n} := \frac{\chi(q)}{q^{(-m+1)/24}\chi(q^m)}, \quad q = e^{-\pi\sqrt{n/m}}, \] where \(m\) and \(n\) are positive real numbers. In this paper, we study the modular relation between \(I_{5,n}\) and \(I_{5,k^2n}\) and the explicit evaluations of \(I_{5,n}\) for \(n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 7\text{ and }11\).
