Answer is E.

1) We dont know the salaries of the other two. Nor do we know their salaries last year to take 15%. Not sufficient.

2) we dont know salary of other 8. nor do we know what their salaries were last year.

1 and 2 ) We still do not know what was the salary last year to add 15% to that.

So E.
Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert. :)
