The break-up (degree wise) of the total number of employees of a company working in five offices, A, B, C, D and E, in a city, in 2020 is shown in the following pie graph. Total Number of Employees = 3400 The ratio of the number of male and female employees working in office A is 5 ∶ 6 and 50% of the employees in office E are females. Let a be the ratio of the number of male employees in A to that of the female employees in E and b be the ratio of the number of male employees in E to that of the female employees in A. What is the ratio a ∶ b?
The break-up (degree wise) of the total number of employees of a company working in five offices, A, B, C, D and E, in a city, in 2020 is shown in the following pie graph. Total Number of Employees = 3400 The ratio of the number of male and female employees working in office A is 5 ∶ 6 and 50% of the employees in office E are females. Let a be the ratio of the number of male employees in A to that of the female employees in E and b be the ratio of the number of male employees in E to that of the female employees in A. What is the ratio a ∶ b? Correct Answer 40 ∶ 27
Calculation:
Number of employees in office A = (79.2/360) × 3400
⇒ 748
Number of males in office A = 748 × (5/11)
⇒ 340
Number of females in office A = 748 × (6/11)
⇒ 408
Now, Number of employees in office E = 612
Number of males in office E = 612 ÷ 2 = 306
Number of females in office E = 612 ÷ 2 = 306
Now, According to the question
The value of a = Male emp. of A/ Female emp. of E
⇒ a = 340/306
And, The value of B = Male emp. of E/ Female emp. of A
⇒ b = 306/408
Now, We have to find a : b
So, a : b = 340/306 : 306/408
⇒ a : b = 340/306 × 408/306
⇒ a : b = 40 ∶ 27
∴ The required ratio is 40 ∶ 27.
