Is 0.371s > 0.262 i
or \(\frac{s}{i} > \frac{262}{371}\)
Statement 1-
0.738 i > 0.629 s
\(\frac{s}{i} <\frac{738}{629 }\)
Hence \(\frac{s}{i}\) can be 1 \((>\frac{262}{371})\)
or 0.5 \((< \frac{262}{371})\)
Insufficient
Statement 2-
\(s> i\)
\(\frac{s}{i }> 1 > \frac{262}{371}\)
Sufficient

(1) Securities sector: 37.1% Female & 62.9% Male
Insurance sector = 26.2% Female & 73.8% Male
We're told that there were more male salespersons in the insurance sector than in the securities sector. However, this is not enough information to conclude that there were more female salespersons in the securities sector than in the insurance sector.
If Securities sector had a total of 200 people, and the insurance sector had a total of 100 people, then the securities sector has more female salespersons.
If Securities sector had a total of 50 people and the insurance sector had a total of 100 people, then the Insurance sector has more female salespersons.
INSUFFICIENT.
(2) If there are more salespersons in the securities sector, we can conclude there were more women in the securities sector than the insurance sector. (higher percentage and higher number of people)
SUFFICIENT.
Answer is B.
