At a summer camp, there are exactly three activity groups: Hiking, Swimming, and Archery, and every student is enrolled in at least one of these groups. For every 5 students in Hiking, there are 6 in Swimming and 11 in Archery. Among those enrolled in Archery, what fraction are also enrolled in Swimming?

(1) All students enrolled in Hiking are also enrolled in Archery.
(2) Every student enrolled in Archery is also enrolled in at least one other group.

So, according to the question stem,
Three groups: Hiking(H), Swimming(S) and Archery(A)
For every 5 people in H there are 6 in S and 11 in A
=> For every 10 people in H there are 12 in S and 22 in A
i.e,
Total = 5x+6x+11x
=22x
To find: A ∩ S/A =?

Statement 1:
If all students enrolled in hiking are also enrolled in archery,
Then,
Remaining students will be 6x
But, we still don't know how many of them are in S.
A ∩ S cannot be determined
Not Sufficient.


Statement 2:
Every student in archery is also in at least one other group.
This means a student can be in both the groups as well.
Again, we don't have the exact count of A ∩ S or A ∩ S ∩ H.
Not Sufficient.

Statement 1 and 2:
5x students out of 11x are in H. (According to statement 1)
Remaining 6x students must belong to both or at least one other group.
BUT, all the hiking students are accounted for in 5x students.
Hence, the 6x are not in H and therefore must be in S.
=> A ∩ S= 6x
A ∩ S/A=6/11
Sufficient.

ANSWER: Option C

We are given that proportion of students in Hiking, Swimming and Archery is 5:6:11

Assuming 5,6, and 11 students are currently present,

Statement 1 - sufficient as the number of students common to archery and swimming would be fixed at 6 in any case. Anything below or above 6 cannot occur as the number of swimming students is limited to 6.

Therefore, sufficient.

Statement 2 - sufficient as in the case of statement 1, the number common to archery and swimming would be foxed at 6 and the rest 5 students would be common between hiking and archery.

Therefore, Option D

There are 3 groups:

Hiking (H)
Swimming (S)
Archery (A)
Every student is in at least one group.

The number of students in each group is in the ratio:
Hiking : Swimming : Archery = 5 : 6 : 11

Let’s assume total number of students is 22 (because 5 + 6 + 11 = 22).
So:

5 students are in Hiking
6 in Swimming
11 in Archery

Statement 1: All students in Hiking are also in Archery
So, all 5 hikers are also in Archery.
That means, at least 5 of the 11 Archery students are hikers.
But we still don’t know how many are in Swimming. So this statement alone is not sufficient .

Statement 2: Every Archery student is also in at least one other group
This means no one is in Archery only — everyone in Archery is also in Hiking or Swimming (or both).
But we don’t know how many are in each.
So this statement alone is also not sufficient .

Now combine both statements:
From statement 1: 5 hikers are also in Archery
From statement 2: All 11 Archery students must also be in Hiking or Swimming
So:

5 Archery students are hikers (from statement 1)
The remaining 6 Archery students must be in Swimming (because they must be in some other group)

6/11

The camp has three groups: Hiking, Swimming, Archery. With numbers in the ratio 5 : 6 : 11. We want the fraction of Archery campers who also take part in Swimming.
Statement 1 says every Hiking camper is in Archery. Statement 2 says every Archery camper is in Hiking or in Swimming. By themselves neither tells us how many Archery campers swim. But together they fix the split: Archery has 11 k campers, of whom 5 k are hikers (by Statement 1) and the remaining 6 k must be swimmers (by Statement 2). Therefore the fraction of Archery campers who also swim is 6k/11k=6/11

H: S: A = 5: 6: 11 . Let the students in hiking, swimming and archery be 5x, 6x, and 11x respectively
what fraction of archery is also enrolled into swimming?

(1) = all the 5x students of hiking are a part of the 11x group of archery, not sufficient
(2) = all the 11x students of archery are enrolled in at least on other group, not sufficient
(1) + (2) = not sufficient because one might think that since 5x students are a part of hiking than the remaining 6x students would be a part of swimming. But we dont know whether any hiking students are a part of both archery and swimming
Hence, Option E

5*s students in Hiking
6*s students in Swimming
11*s students in Archery

fraction Archery intersect Swimming vs Archery?

(1)
11s-5s=6s students in Archery not in Hiking, but don't know how many in Swimming too.

Statement (1) alone is insufficient.

(2)
Suppose that less than 5s of Hiking students were in Archery. The remaining students in Archery should be in Swimming (as every student enrolled in Archery is also enrolled in at least one other group). But they can be, at most, 6s, so it is impossible that less than 5s of Hiking students were in Archery.
All students are in Archery and 5s of them are also in Haiking and 6s of them are also in Swimming. No one is in the three groups.

The fraction is 6s/11s=6/11

Statement (2) alone is sufficient.

Answer B
