Ans should be C IMO

From statement 1

0.2X = members of Y

Not sufficient on its own as we don't know how many members are in Y

Statement 2

0.3Y = members of X

Insufficient on its own as we don't know how many members are in X

Combining both we know that 0.2X=0.3Y, which means that X has more members. So C
