The number of people having Management experience [ME] = 100.
Let the number of people having Sales experience [SE] =X.
Given that intersection of ME and SE = 0.15x
Now option (1) :
It states that the number of people falling in the intersection is 72. 0.15x=72
x=460.
Thus SE = 460. SE > ME ; This statement is sufficient.
Taking into consideration option (2) :
Given that 252 employees in the company have neither sales experience nor management experience. This information doesn't really lead us to anywhere. Kind of a garbage value that a poorly coded application yields. Thus option 2 is insufficient.

i think the answer should be E, as the number of management experienced students is unbound as it is any number greater than or equal to 100
