If the OA is D, then this is a bad question as written.
Each statement allows us to find the total number of accountants and managers. However, the question asks for the total number of employees in the office, and it never says that all employees are either accountants or managers or that there is no overlap between accountants and managers.
So, there could be other types of employees in the office, or some employees could be counted in both groups. Because of that, the total number of employees cannot be determined unless the question explicitly states that the office has only accountants and managers and that no employee is both.
