Re: How many members of Group G are less than 25 years of age? [#permalink]

I will go with answer E because the question mentions "members" and makes no distinction between men and women, and statement (2) mentions 24 *men*. Since we don't know how many women the group has, (1) and (2) are both insufficient


But the second statement says "The 24 men in Group G constitute 30 percent of the groups membership"

Therefore 24 people constitute 30% of the total membership (Not just men's contribution in overall membership). This will give you overall group's membership (Men+Women).

And 1st statement gives you a fraction of overall members that are less than 25 age

Therefore C should be the answer.

Why is it not option A?

If the question asked is “how many” and we found the exact answer, which is 2/5.

Does it always have to be an exact number?

Yes. In a “what is the value?” GMAT DS question, the statement is sufficient only if you can get the single numerical value. From (1) we only know that 2/5th of the group are 25 years of age or older but we need the exact number not the ratio, hence the statement is not sufficient.
