i dont think so this is the correct solution how can you take only multiples of 7 and 11

Question:
DIRECTIONS: Each of the following below consists of a question and three statements numbered I, II and III given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statement are sufficient to answer the question.

How many male and females are there in the company Y?


I. In the company there are 158 persons. There are more females than males.

II. Only 1/11 of the females wear formals, while 1/7 of the males wear formals.

Options:
A) Only I
B) Only II
C) Either I or II
D) Neither I nor II      
E) Both I and II
Solution:

Ans: (e) 

From I and II- there are only two ways of expressing the number 158 as the sum of a multiple of 7 and a multiple of 11.

147+11= 158

70 + 88 = 158

Since  there  are  more  females  than  males,  the  number  of males must be 70 while the number of females 88.
