Study the given pie chart and answer the question given below. Percentage breakup of employees working in different departments of a company Department the ratio of men and women male female Information technology (IT) 11 12 Account 5 4 Marketing 8 9 Production 4 3 Human Resource (HR) 9 5 Total number of employees = 1800 If 10% of the men working in the Accounts department are transferred to the HR department, and one-fourth of the female employees working in the Production department is transferred to the Marketing department, then the number of male employees working in the HR department is what percent less than the number of female employees working in the Marketing department? (correct to one decimal place) Correct Answer 16.7%
Calculation:
Total employees working in the Accounts department = 1800 × 18/100
⇒ 324
Total men in Accounts department = 324 × 5/9
⇒ 180
So, 10% of the men = 180 × 10/100 = 18
Total employees working in the HR department = 1800 × 14/100
⇒ 252
Total men in Accounts department = 252 × /14
⇒ 162
After increase total men = 162 + 18 = 180
Total employees working in the Production department = 1800 × 28/100
⇒ 504
Total female in Accounts department = 504 × 3/7
⇒ 216
1/4th of the female = 216 × 1/4
⇒ 54
Total employees working in the Marketing department = 1800 × 17/100
⇒ 306
Total female in Marketing department = 306 × 9/17
⇒ 162
After increase total female = 162 + 54 = 216
Difference = 216 - 180 = 36
Required % = (36/216) × 100
⇒ 16.7%
∴ Required answer is 16.7%
