In a group of people, 3/5 have brown hair and 3/4 of the people with brown hair also have brown eyes, while only one quarter of the people who don't have brown hair have brown eyes. What is the ratio of the number of people with both brown hair and brown eyes to the number with neither?

A. 1/2
B. 9/8
C. 3/2
D. 5/2
E. 9/2



both brown hair and brown eyes = 27
neither = 18

Fraction = 27/18 = 3/2

IMO Option C

Pls Hit Kudos if you like the solution

A. 1/2
B. 9/8
C. 3/2
D. 5/2
E. 9/2
Total=x
BH= 3x/5
BH+BE=9x/20

Not BH= 2x/5
But BE= 2x/20
Not BH and Not BE= 6x/20

Required-> (9x/20) / (6x/20) = 3/2 C
