(1) 40 percent of the members who play cricket and volleyball also play football.

In a certain sports club, at least 50 members play cricketC + CV + FCV \(\geq 50\)
70 members play football
F + FC + FV + FCV = 70
20 percent of the members who play both cricket and football also play volleyball0.2(FV + FCV) = FCV
0.2FV = 0.8 FCV
20 members play both cricket and footballFV + FCV = 20
FCV = 4
We know that
- F + FV = 50
- C + CV \(\geq 30\)
QuestionF + FC + FV + FCV > C + FC + CV + FCV
F + FV > C + CV
Statement 1(1) 40 percent of the members who play cricket and volleyball also play football.
0.4(CV + FCV) = FCV
4 = 0.4 (CV + FCV)
CV + FCV = 10
CV = 6
Hence, C > 24
Is F + FV > C + CV
Well, we can't say for sure. If CV = 25, C + CV < F + FV. However, if C = 100, C + CV > F + FV. The statement alone is not sufficient to answer the question. We can eliminate A and D.
Statement 2(2) Number of members who play only cricket is less than half the number of members who play football.
Inference: C < 35
Is F + FV > C + CV
Well, we can't say for sure. If CV = 6, C + CV < F + FV. However, if CV = 50 & C = 34, C + CV > F + FV. The statement alone is not sufficient to answer the question. We can eliminate B.
CombinedWe know that the value of CV = 6, and the max value of C = 34
Hence, at max C + CV = 40
Is F + FV > C + CV → Well, yes !
F + FV = 50, while maximum value of C + CV = 40. Hence, we can conclude that F + FV > C + CV
Option C
