Neither statement offers any information about the number of attendees who are alumni.BTGmoderatorDC wrote:All attendees at a university gathering are faculty or alumni of the university. Are any of the attendees both faculty and alumni?
(1) 3/5 of the attendees are members of the university faculty
(2) 40% of the attendees are not members of the university faculty
Thus, the two statements combined are INSUFFICIENT.
The correct answer is E.

Are any of the attendee both faculty and admin?
Statement 1
3/5 of the attendee are member of the university faculty
we are not given any information about total number of attendees or total numbers of alumni
hence statement 1 is INSUFFICIENT
Statement 2
40% of the attendee are not members of university faculty.
The remaining 60% can be alumni or both alumni and faculty
information given is not ENOUGH to find out if any of the members are faculty and alumni members
Statement 1 and 2 together
None of the two statements provide information about the total attendee hence it is NOT SUFFICIENT
$$Answer\ is\ option\ E$$
