No of Brand A sneaker should be divisible by 7 and 3 so that we can 5/7 of it as low-tops and 1/3 of low-top as running shows.
So min no of brand A would be 7x3 = 21 pairs.
no of brand B pairs is 7 more than brand A. So no of brand B sneakers = 28
21+28=49
Hence, answer will be E.

Brand A's running shoes = 1/3*5/7*s or 5/21*s
where s is the total number of shoes.
The minimum shoes needed in Brand A are 21,
in order to have a whole number(since the number of shoes cant be a fraction)
Brand B contains 7 shoes more, 28 in total.
The sum of minimum number of shoes is 49(Option E)
