C

Let x be the average, m = manager, d = director. We are looking for d/(d+m)?

(1) x - 5000 ==> Not sufficient
(2) x = 15,000 ==> Not sufficient

(1) + (2)

m(x-5000) + d(x+15000)/(m+d) = x ==> After simplifying we get
3d = m and we can find out d/(d+m) ==> 1/4 ==> 25%

TeHCM your method of solving the problem I agree with, except those who are saying E has a point that (1) and (2) says "av. sal. of all employees". The question could be clear if it mentioned "av. sal. of all employees in the Task Force"

What is the source of this question?

Go for C.
here is the solution.
let m - manager salary, d-director salary.
n-number of manager,m-number of directors
From 1:
(m1+m2+...mn/n)+5000=(m1+...+mn+d1+...+dm)/(m+n) - nothing we can get since don't know relationship between m and n
From 2:
(d1+d2+...dm/m)-15000=(m1+...+mn+d1+...+dm)/(m+n) - nothing we can get again
Combying both we can solve equation.
