Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$66\%$

By using the given information we can get the following table.
$\begin{array}{ccc}Organisation& Male& Female\\ HR& 108& 272\\ Marketing& 315& 160\\ Finance& 270& 144\\ Administration& 90& 224\\ Manufacturing& 117& 0\\ Total& 900& 800\end{array}$
Total number of male employees in the Marketing and the Finance department $=315+270=585$
Total number of employees in the Marketing and the Finance department $=315+160+270+144=889$
$\therefore$ required percentage $=\frac{585}{889}\times 100=65.80\%\approx 66\%$
