(1) 68% of male citizens eligible to vote voted...... 
Now Idea about female citizens..What % voted...... 
Not Sufficient

(2) 65% of female citizens eligible to vote voted.

Now Combine 
Country has 200 Citizens... 100 Male..100 Female... 
65 + 68 Eligible to vote.... 128 Citizens Eligible to vote....

Now...68% of 65 ...65% of 68 ...voted..... Here you know you can get the value.... So C...Forget about the calculations
