52
52 is the answer
Let the Sports Club be denoted by U,
.
F = Football
.
B = Basketball
.
V = Volleyball
.
n(U) = 110
.
n(FnBnC') = 20
.
n(FnVnB') = 15
.
n(BnVnF') = 26
.
n(FnBnV) = x
.
n(FnB'nV') = n(F'nBnV') = (F'nB'nV) = 2x
.

Note: B', F' and V' denote the complements of the various sets(clubs).
.
n(U) = n(FuBuV) + n(FuBuV)'
.
In this case, n(FuBuV)' is empty.
.
110 = 2x + 20 + x + 15 + 2x + 26 + 2x
.
110 = 61 + 7x
.
49 = 7x
.
x = 7
.
n(B) = 20 + 26 + x + 2x
.
n(B) = 20 + 26 + 3x
.
n(B) = 20 + 26 + 21
.
n(B) = 67
.
67 members play Basketball altogether.
