x = club x only
y = club y only
z = club x and y
question: x+z > y+z or is x>y??? or x/y >1??
1. z = 0.2 y
2. z = 0.3 x
Combining:
x+0.3x > y+0.2 y
=> 1.3 x > 1.2 y
=> x/y < 1 (0.92) . Sufficient...

individual stmts are not enough as they don't say any comparable information on both clubs.
combining both 1 & 2 stmt:
as 20% of club X = 30% of club Y
hence, it is obvious that Club X has more members
