Official Solution:
We’ll go for LOGICAL since logic is the first option in Data Sufficiency.
(1) This tells us the ratio between girls and boys. But without any exact numbers to work with, we can’t tell how many children there are. (A) and (D) are eliminated.
(2) We know how many boys there were, but how many girls were there? (B) is eliminated.
Combining (1) and (2) gives us the number of boys, and the ratio of boys to girls – two pieces of information that are enough in order to find the number of girls, and thus the total number of children. (E) is eliminated.
