E. Both I and II are sufficient

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

From I, total number of doctors in town = (1/700 x N) , where N = total number of residents in town. But, the value of N is not known.
From II, total number of doctors in town
= (Number of wards in town) x (Number of doctors in each ward)
= 16 x 16 = 256.
