1 is sufficient
if at B there were 2 workers, at A there were 6.
(6*11+2*16)/(6+2) = (66+32)/8 = 98/8 = 12+2/4 = 12+1/4
if at B there were 10 workers, at A there were 30.
(30*11+10*16)/(30+10) = (330+160)/40 = 490/40 = 49/4 = 12+1/4
2 is sufficient
11*A=132 so A = 132/11 = 12 workers at A
16*B=64 so B = 64/16 = 4 workers at B
(132+64)/(12+4) = 196/16 = 49/4 = 12+1/4
Answer is D either alone is sufficient
