From the graph:

We need to find out: G+SE, which is the number of members who speak two of the three languages.

From the question: N+S+SE+E+G=200 and S=70
From (1) we have: E=60, so G+SE=200-N-S-E=200-N-70-60=70-N
thus insufficient.
From (2) we have: N=20, so G+SE=200-N-S-E=200-20-S-E=180-S-E, thus also insufficient.

Combine (1) and (2), We have G+SE=70-20=50, sufficient.

Answer is (C)









the answer is C
