    Females

    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.


    Please solve the problem.
    We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed and broken. We are perplexed, but we don't give up and quit.

    f =?

    from i)
    f+14/ m = 16/9
    9f + 126 = 16m
    not suff

    from ii)
    m = 105 + f
    not suff

    combining both, we can solve for f.
    Hence C
