A certain company paid bonuses of $125 to each of its executive employees and $75 to each of its nonexecutive employees. If 100 of the employees were nonexecutives, how many were executives?

Let x be the no. of executives, so company paid x*125 & 100*75
(1) The company has a total of 120 employees --> 100 are non exec. so x=20....sufficient
(2) The total amount that the company paid in bonuses to its employees was $10.000 --> x*125 + 100*75 = 10000......sufficient

Ans. D)

Here we are mistakenly assuming that company only consisting of Executive and Non Executive,what if company consists of other category employee that is not explicitly mentioned here. Statement 1 is not sufficient. Statement 2 is sufficient because we know the bonus
