** WARNING LONGEST APPROACH **
seeking for better, faster approach...
let us assume, last year total members = 100
according to question -
males = 60
females = 40
now This year x members joined, where
males = a
females = b
total strength = 100+x
therefore, now total strength of males this year = 60+a
also. total strength of females this year = 60+b
question asks -
is (60+a) / (100+x) > (60/100)
or (5/3)a > x
or 1.67a > x ?
statement 1: a > x/2
or 2a > x this does not answer whether 1.67a > x
think of some example -
if a=6, and x=8 - yes
if a=5 and x=8 - No
statement 2: 100+x = 6/5 * 100
or x = 20; no info about "a" so insufficient
combine (1) + (2) -
2a>x and x = 20
therefore, a>10 and x = 20
test out: is 1.67a > x
a=11 ans is NO
a = 14 ans is YES
still insufficient - hence option E
small correction above -
"this year" total number of females = 40+b
