Hi @NithinBN 

You can create the following measure

Measure =
VAR a =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        SUMMARIZE (
            FILTER (
                ALLSELECTED ( Relation ),
                CONTAINSSTRING ( [Employee-1], "M-" ) && CONTAINSSTRING ( [Employee-2], "D-" )
            ),
            [Employee-2]
        ),
        CROSSFILTER ( 'Relation'[Employee-1], Employee[EmployeeID], NONE )
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Employee[Hours] ),
        FILTER ( Employee, [EmployeeID] IN a ),
        CROSSFILTER ( 'Relation'[Employee-1], Employee[EmployeeID], NONE )
    )

Output

Take a look at this article the describes how to create an employee hierarchy.  

https://medium.com/@gulcekincrk/have-you-ever-wondered-how-to-create-an-organizational-hierarchy-in-...

I think you will need to reorganize your Relation table a bit so you have each employee once and who their manger is.  Then the article above describes how to build the chain of employees from the bottom to the top.
