Both the statements separately are NOT SUFFICIENT to answer the question.

Next combine both the statements: (1) covers the possibilities when there are 4 or more employees in each project, and (2) covers the possibilities when there are 2 or fewer employees in each project. This implies that no. of employees not covered for each project is 3.

Therefore, 100% - (25% + 35%) = 40% of the projects have 3 employees assigned to each project.

So, combining the statements is SUFFICIENT.

The correct answer is C.
