110 Number of men who liked volleyball
=
14 x 3 u
= 0.75 u
Number of women who liked volleyball
= 3 u - 0.75 u
= 2.25 u
Number of men who disliked volleyball
=
110 x 1 u
= 0.1 u
Number of women who disliked volleyball
= 1 u - 0.1 u
= 0.9 u
Total number of men
= 0.75 u + 0.1 u
= 0.85 u
Total number of women
= 2.25 u + 0.9 u
= 3.15 u
Women : Men
0.85 : 3.15
