males = m
females = f

Democrats=>
male = m/2
female = 3f/5

(1) In club Y the number of female members is one less than the number of male members.
f = m-1
ratio = m/(m-1)

we dont know the value of m

Insufficient

(2) In club Y the number of male Republican members is equal to the number of female Democratic members.

male republicans = m/2
female democrates = 3f/5

m/2 = 3f/5
m/f = 6/5


Sufficient
