solved it other way:
sqrt(6) > sqrt(4)
but sqrt(6)<sqrt(9). thus
the answer should be between 4/3 and 5/3.
we can eliminate A, D, and E right away.
between B and C, we need a number greater than 4/3, since 4/3 is when sqrt(4), thus C is incorrect and B is the answer.

2+sqrt6=2+2.4=4.4

4.4/3=44/30=22/15 means that 22 is 15 and its half, so 1.5 or 3/2

Here is what i did =>
√6+2 => 2.4+2=> 4.4
hence m/n=> 4.4/3 => 1.5 (approx)
m/n=1.5=3/2

Hence B
