So here we have 4 kinds of people: Males who participate, Females who participate, Males who dont participate, Females who dont participate. Let me call these 4 categories as MP, FP, MNP, FNP respectively. We are given that MP + FP = 60% of 2000 = 1200. Thus MNP + FNP = 2000-1200 = 800. We need to find MP + MNP (total males) as a percentage of 2000.
MP + MNP will give us the number of males. FP + FNP will give us the number of females.
(1) FNP = 2*MP. Let MP = x, then FNP = 2x. This will give FP = 1200-x and MNP = 800-2x. So total number of males = x + 800 - 2x = 800+x. But we dont have the value of x, so we cannot find the answer. Insufficient.
(2) FNP = 3*MNP. And their sum should be 800 (non participants). This gives us MNP=200 and FNP=600. But we dont have the value of MP so we cannot find the number of males. Insufficient.
Combining the two statements, MNP=200, FNP=600 and from first statement, FNP=2*MP, so MP=300. This will give us MNP + MP = 200+300 = 500. And now we can find the desired percentage. Sufficient.
Hence C answer
