Given w:c = 5:2

S1: c:m = 5:11
Therefore, w:m = 25:22
Not sufficient.

S2: #w < 30 Not sufficient.

S1 & S2: w/m = 25/22

Therefore, m = 22
Sufficient.

Answer: C

1 is insuff, since it gives the ratio of M:W:C. However it does tell us that since fractions of humans cannot exist. min. women =25

2. insuff by itself, M is missing from ratios

combining 1, 2 we know that w=25, so can find M and so answer is C

C

Given
W/C = 5/2

1) C/M = 5/11 Not suff

2) W<30 Not suff

Together
Remember C M and W have to be integers
henc W can be 25, 20, 15, 10 or 5

When W = 25 , C = 10 and M = 22
when W = 20 , C = 8 but M is nto an integer

Same thing when W = 15,10 or 5
Hence only with W = 25 we get the number of men

(2) no mention about Men

ACE

(1) Insuff

(1) & (2) only Women =25 would give an integer value for Men

Hence Suff

C
