Question

• A. 363
• B. 433
• C. 545
• D. 521
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D

521

Total number of employees = 2400
Number of female employees = $\frac{3}{8}\times 2400=900$
Number of females in HR department = $\frac{11}{6}\times 180=330$
Number of females in Accounts department = (1500 – 180 – 185 – 630 – 330) = 175
Number of females in IT department = $\frac{1}{9}\times 900=100$
Number of females in Production department = $\frac{10}{100}\times 630=63$
Number of females in Marketing department = (900 – 300 – 216 – 100 – 63) = 191

Number of females in HR and Marketing department = 330 + 191 = 521
