14. What is the number of female employees in Company X ?
(1) If Company X were to hire 14 more people and all of these people were females, the ratio of the number of male employees to the number of female employees would then be 16 to 9.
(2) Company X has 105 more male employees than female employees.

IMO c

(i) m/(f+14)=16/9
(ii)m=f+105

from (i) and (ii) we can find f

Answer is C.

Statement I.

M/(f+14) = 16/9
We dont know the values of either male of female,

Not Sufficient

Statement II.

M=105+F
We dont know the values of either male of female,

Not Sufficient

Combining I & II.

We can solve the above equations to get the values of M & F.

Hence C.
