Since the ratio of the number of players on the three teams is 2:5:3, respectively, then the # of players on the three teams would be \(2x\), \(5x\), and \(3x\), respectively (for some positive integer multiple x).
The average number of runs scored per player equals to total \(\frac{# \ of \ runs}{# \ of \ players}=\frac{# \ of \ runs}{10x}\). So, we are asked to find whether \(\frac{# \ of \ runs}{10x}>22\), or whether \(# \ of \ runs>220x\)
(1) The average number of runs scored per player for each of the three teams, A, B, and C, is 30, 17, and 25, respectively. The total # of runs for each team would be: \(30*2x=60x\), \(17*5x=85x\) and \(25*3x=75x\), so the total # of runs for all teams would be \(60x+85x+75=220x\). Sufficient.
(2) The total number of runs scored across all three teams collectively is at least 220. If the total # of runs is 220 and \(x=1\), then the answer will be NO but if the total # of runs is 230 and \(x=1\), then the answer will be YES. Not sufficient.

(2) The total number of runs scored across all three teams collectively is at least 220.
number of players = 2x,5x,3x total = 10x
is number of runs / total number of players > 22
from one
total number of runs = 60x , 85x, 75x
average = 220x/10x = 22 suff
from two
assume that total number of runs = 220 / 10x = 22/x , x is positive intiger
it depends on x .........not suff
I say A
