IMO, (C) is the answer.
Let the number of brown eggs = b
and the number of white eggs = w
It is given that, \(\frac{b}{w}\) = \(\frac{1.5}{1.8}\) = \(\frac{5}{6}\)
So, we can say that b should be a multiple of 5 and w should be a multiple of 6.
Now, b<25. Now to maximise the total number of eggs, we should maximise b. The next maximum value that b can take is 20. Since, b should be a multiple of 5. If b = 20 then, w = 24.
Thus, highest possible total number of eggs = 20+24 = 44
So, (C) is the answer.
