Option 1: $3\sqrt{6}$

Option 2: $2\sqrt{6}$

Option 3: $4\sqrt{6}$

Option 4: $2$

$\frac{\sqrt{2\times2\times2\times 3} + \sqrt{2\times2\times2\times3\times3\times3}}{\sqrt{2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times3}}$
= $\frac{\sqrt{4\times6} + \sqrt{6\times36}}{\sqrt{6\times16}}$
= $\frac{2\sqrt{6} + 6\sqrt{6}}{4\sqrt{6}}$
= $\frac{8\sqrt{6}}{4\sqrt{6}}$
