    Only ratio in A. is the same in both statements, as multiplying or dividing both of them by the same factor will not make a difference.

    If we write the ratios vertically and then cross multiply:

    A) 3*20 = 5 * 15

    60 = 60

    B) 14 * 18 = 6 * 28

    252 ≠ 168

    C) 42 * 2 = 7 * 6

    84 ≠ 42

    D) 2 * 2 = 3 * 3

    4 ≠ 9
