Solution

The correct option is D: If Both statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but neither statement ALONE is sufficient.

Let the number of employees be 100.

30% are males, then, the number of males =30

10% female have engineering (engg.) background, then the number of females having engineering background =10

Statement A: 25% of employees have engineering background means the number of people having engineering background =25

So, the number of males having engineering background =2510=15

Statement B: Number of male employees having an engineering background is 20% more than the number of female employees having an engineering background.

Percentage of male engineering background employees

=Number of male engg. employeesTotal engg. background employees=1525×100%=15×4=60%

Percertage of female background employees

=Number of female engg. employeesTotal engg. background employees=1025×100%=10×4=40%

so, male percentage in engg. background is 20% more than the percentage of female engg. background employees.

Hence, option D is correct, i.e. If Both statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but neither statement ALONE is sufficient.
