How many people did the Apex Company employ in 1990?

1) The company employed 358 more people in 1991 than in 1990.
2) The company employed 20 percent more people in 1991 than in 1990.

OA C
Needless to state that none of the statements alone is sufficient.

(1) and (2) together

From (1) and (2), we get that 20% of no. of employees in 1990 = 358

=> No. of employees in 1990 = 358*100/20 = a unique value. Sufficient.

The correct answer: C

Hope this helps!
