Question

• A. Managers
• B. Technicians
• C. Operators
• D. Accountants

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Managers

Number of Managers working in the Company:
In $1995=760$.
In $2000=(760+280+179+148+160+193)-(120+92+88+72+96)$
$=1252$.
$\therefore$ Percentage increase in the number of Managers
$=[\frac{(1252-760)}{760}\times 100]$% $=64.74$%.
Number of Technicians working in the Company:
In $1995=1200$.
In $2000=(1200+272+240+236+256+288)-(120+128+96+100+112)$
$=1936$.
$\therefore$ Percentage increase in the number of Technicians
$=[\frac{(1936-1200)}{1200}\times 100]$% $=61.33$%
Number of Operators working in the Company:
In $1995=880$.
In $2000=(880+256+240+208+192+248)-(104+120+100+112+144)$
$=1444$.
$\therefore$ Percentage increase in the number of Operators.
$=[\frac{(1444-880)}{880}\times 100]$% $=64.09$%.
Number of Accountants working in the Company:
In $1995=1160$.
In $2005=(1160+200+224+248+272+260)-(100+104+96+88+92)$
$=1884$.
$\therefore$ Percentage increase in the number of Accountants.
$=[\frac{(1884-1160)}{1160}\times 100]$% $=62.41$%.
Number of Peons working in the Company:
In $1995=820$.
In $2000=(820+184+152+196+224+200)-(96+88+80+120+104)$
$=1288$.
$\therefore$ Percentage increase in the number of Peons
$=[\frac{(1288-820)}{820}\times 100]$% $=57.07$%.
Clearly, the percentage increase in maximum in case of managers.
