In an organisation, the ratio of male employees and females employees is 3 ∶ 1. If 25% of male employees and 50% of the female employees were present on Monday. Then what is the ratio of male employees and female employees not present on Monday? Correct Answer 9 ∶ 2

Given

Ratio of male and female employees = 3 ∶ 1

Percentage of male employees present on Monday = 25%

Percentage of female employees present on Monday = 50%

Calculation

Let the number of male and female employees is 3x and x

Percentage of male employees not present on Monday = 75% of 3x

Percentage of female employees not present on Monday = 50% of x

Required ratio = (75/100) × 3x ∶ (50/100) × x

⇒ (2.25x) ∶ (0.5)x

⇒ 4.5 ∶ 1

⇒ 45 ∶ 10

⇒ 9 ∶ 2

∴ The ratio of male employees and female employees not present on Monday is 9 ∶ 2.
