there are 4 genotypes and 4 phenotypes of children.
(I used B - Brown eyes(dominant)
b - blue eyes
D - Dark hair(dominant)
d - red hair
Now as man has brown eyes ,therefore there can be two possibilities either he has BB or Bb genotype...
as it is given that man's father has blue eyes (bb).. therefore the man must be having Bb genotype.
also, he has red hair thus, rr
therefore genotype if man = Bb rr
Similarly female has blue eyes (recessive) having bb genotype..
Female's mother was red haired(dd) and female is dark haired .... therefore possible genotype is Dd
therefore genotype of female = bb Dd
On crossing... Bb rr × bb Dd ... there are 4 possible genotypes..
Bb dd ( Brown eyed , red haired )
Bb Dd (Brown eyed ,Dark haired )
bb dd (blue eyed , red haired )
bb Dd (blue eyed ,Dark haired )
thus, 4 phenotypes and 4 genotypes.....
I hope it helps...! :))

therefore genotype of female = bb Dd
On crossing... Bb rr × bb Dd ... there are 4 possible genotypes..
Bb dd ( Brown eyed , red haired )
