I--- Only P+ Only A + Only F
II--- P&F together but not A + P&A together but not F + A&F together but not P
III--- all P, F, A together
O--- None of the P,F&A

II=120
I+2II+3III=450
I+3III=210

Total Football Fanclub members, T=O+I+II+III

S(1) Equal number of members root for Portugal only and for Argentina only.
Only P= Only A
does not help us to identify T

S(2) For every 2 members of the club who root for none of the three teams, there is 1 member who roots for all three of the teams.

If III=x, O will be 2x

T= I+II+x+2x
T=I+II+3x or I+II+3III

T=120+I+3III=120+210=330

S2 is sufficient
Therefore, B

Portugal (P) - 100
France (F) - 150
Argentina (A) - 200
PF - ?
FA - ?
PA - ?
PFA - ?
P only - ?
F only - ?
A only - ?
None - ?

PF+FA+PA = 120

Important question to keep in mind -

Total number of members = P + F + A - (PF+FA+PA) - 2 (PFA) + None

Statement 1 -
P only = A only

Insufficient as it doesn't give us information that can lead us to answer.

Statement 2-
None = 2 (PFA)

Total = 100+150+200-(120)-2(PFA)+None

Now , replacing the value of None = 2(PFA)

Total = 330 - 2PFA + 2PFA
Total = 330

Hence, statement 2 is sufficient.

B is the correct choice.

­From the given data - 100 of them root for Portugal, 150 of them root for France, and 200 of them root for Argentina.
Lets assume E1 for Exactly 1 similarly for E2 for 2 and E3 for 3.

\(E1+2E2+3E3 = 100+150+200 = 450\)

also \(E2 = 120\)

To find - How many members does the fan club have

\(E1 + E2 + E3 + none = Total\)

1st - Equal number of members root for Portugal only and for Argentina only.

Not useful.

2nd - For every 2 members of the club who root for none of the three teams, there is 1 member who roots for all three of the teams.
none = 2E3
Therefore, \(Total = E1 + E2 + 3E3\)

This we can calculate from given data

\(E1+2E2+3E3 = 450\)

\(E1+E2+3E3 = 450-E2\)

But \(E2 = 120\)

\(E1+E2+3E3 = 450-120 = 330\)

Sufficient
Answer is B.­

Hello How did you arrive at d+e+f=150?
Bunuel
GMAT CLUB Official Explanation:

A poll conducted among the members of a football fan club, revealed that 100 of them root for Portugal, 150 of them root for France, and 200 of them root for Argentina. Also, 120 of them root for exactly two of the three teams. How many members does the fan club have ?

Check the diagram below:



Given:

(i) 100 people root for Portugal: \(a + d + f + g = 100\);
(ii) 200 people root for Argentina: \(b + e + d + g = 200\).
(iii) 150 people root for France: \(c + e + f + g = 150\);

(iiii) 120 people root for exactly two of the three teams: \(d + e + f = 150\).


The question asks to find \(total = a + b + c + d + e + f + g + N = ?\)

Sum (i), (ii), and (iii):

\((a + d + f + g) + (b + e + d + g) + (c + e + f + g) = 450\);

\(a + b + c + 2(d + f+ e) + 3g = 450\).

Since given that \(d + e + f = 150\) (iiii), then:

\(a + b + c + 2*150+ 3g = 450.\);
\(a + b + c = 150 - 3g\)

Thus:

\(total = (a + b + c) + (d + e + f) + g + N = (150 - 3g) + 150 + g + N = 300 -2g + N=?\)

(1) Equal number of members root for Portugal only and for Argentina only.


This means that a = b, which is not sufficient to get the value of total = 300 -2g + N.

(2) For every 2 members of the club who root for none of the three teams, there is 1 member who roots for all three of the teams.


This means that \(N = 2g\). Thus, \(total = 300 - 2g + N = 300 -2g + 2g = 300\). Sufficient.

Answer: B.

(iii) 150 people root for France: \(c + e + f + g = 150\);

(iiii) 120 people root for exactly two of the three teams: \(d + e + f = 150\).


The question asks to find \(total = a + b + c + d + e + f + g + N = ?\)

Sum (i), (ii), and (iii):

\((a + d + f + g) + (b + e + d + g) + (c + e + f + g) = 450\);

\(a + b + c + 2(d + f+ e) + 3g = 450\).

Since given that \(d + e + f = 150\) (iiii), then:

\(a + b + c + 2*150+ 3g = 450.\);
\(a + b + c = 150 - 3g\)

Thus:

\(total = (a + b + c) + (d + e + f) + g + N = (150 - 3g) + 150 + g + N = 300 -2g + N=?\)

(1) Equal number of members root for Portugal only and for Argentina only.


This means that a = b, which is not sufficient to get the value of total = 300 -2g + N.

(2) For every 2 members of the club who root for none of the three teams, there is 1 member who roots for all three of the teams.


This means that \(N = 2g\). Thus, \(total = 300 - 2g + N = 300 -2g + 2g = 300\). Sufficient.

120 was a typo, it should have been: 150 of them root for exactly two of the three teams.
