number of females

what is the number of female employess in Company X?

(1) If company X were to hir 14 more ppl and all of theses 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 epmloyees than female employees.

1 wouldn't be suff?

1. (M/(F+14))=16/9 from which we cannot find F. Hence A or D is ruled out

2. M = F + 105 from which we cannot Female employees. Hence B is ruled out.

Using 1 and 2 we can find F hence answer is C.)
