The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statements provided are sufficient to find the number of males and females in a party, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: We need to find the number of males and females in a party. 2. **Analyzing Statement I**: - Statement I states that "The ratio of males to females is 3:2." - This means for every 3 males, there are 2 females. However, without knowing the total number of individuals or the actual number of males or females, we cannot determine the exact counts of males and females. - **Conclusion**: Statement I alone is **not sufficient** to answer the question. 3. **Analyzing Statement II**: - Statement II states that "The number of males is 50% more than the number of females." - If we denote the number of females as \( F \), then the number of males \( M \) can be expressed as: \[ M = F + 0.5F = 1.5F \] - This means that for every 2 females, there are 3 males (since \( 1.5F \) is the same as \( \frac{3}{2}F \)). However, similar to Statement I, we do not have the actual counts of males or females. - **Conclusion**: Statement II alone is **not sufficient** to answer the question. 4. **Combining Statements I and II**: - From Statement I, we have the ratio \( M:F = 3:2 \). - From Statement II, we derived \( M = 1.5F \), which can also be expressed in ratio form as \( M:F = 3:2 \). - Both statements lead us to the same ratio, but we still do not have the actual number of males or females. - **Conclusion**: Even when combining both statements, we still cannot determine the exact numbers of males and females. ### Final Conclusion: The data given in both statements are **not sufficient** to determine the exact number of males and females in the party.
