c
Dm = males in drama club
Df = females in drama club
Mm = males in music club
Mf = females in music club
The question is asking what is the value of (Dm+Mm)/(Dm+Df+Mm+Mf).
Only c gives all values need to calculate above equation.

(1) Of the 16 members of the drama club, 15 are male.
(2) Of the 20 members of the music club, 10 are male. E. if some of the male members of the drama club are also the members of the music club.

(1) Of the 16 members of the drama club, 15 are male.
(2) Of the 20 members of the music club, 10 are male. I went with E for the reason that a person can be member of both clubs at the same time.

I think that the OA is C
And if nothing is explicit, you cannot assume that there are members of both club
e will be the answer if some of the members are members of both club

Its C as we cannot make assumptions unless given.
Please post the OA.

I'll chime in. The OA is E. Although this question comes from the GMATPrep #2 CAT, it is very poorly worded (I hope I don't get a question like this on the test). It assumes that men can be members of both clubs, without explicitly saying so. I picked C as well, and got it wrong.

Just got tripped up on this question. I chose C not thinking the men could be part of both groups.
