(1) The number of Chipmunks fans among the spectators is 20% greater than the number of Bullfrogs fans.
(2) The total number of spectators at the baseball game is 4,400.

The OA is A.
Say the number of Bullfrogs fan is b and the number of Chipmunks fans is c.

We have to find out the value of b/c.

Let's take each statement one by one.

(1) The number of Chipmunks fans among the spectators is 20% greater than the number of Bullfrogs fans.

Say b = 100, then c = 100 + 20% of 100 = 120

Thus, b/c = 100/120. Sufficient.

(2) The total number of spectators at the baseball game is 4,400.

We do not know how many of 4000 are Chipmunks fans and Bullfrogs fans. Insufficient.

The correct answer: A

Hope this helps!
