    From statement I, Number of IT to Sales employees = 4:5 Number of Finance to HR employees = 5:6 Number of HR employees = 360 + Number of Sales employee So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. From Statement II, The ratio of IT to Sales employees = 3:2 The ratio of number of Finance to Sales employees = 5:4 Number of Sales to HR employees = 2:3 Required the ratio = 6:6 = 1:1 So, Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
