Introduction to Data Interpretation

Direction: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow: An office consists of 520 employees working in different departments, viz. HR, IT, Production and Marketing. The ratio of men to women in the organisation is 5 : 3 . 20 % of the men work in the IT department. 40 % of the women work in the HR department. The total number of employees in the Production department is 135. Two-fifths of the women work in the IT department and the remaining work in the Marketing department. 40 % of the men work in the Production department. 4 % of the men work in the HR department and the remaining work in the Marketing department.

  1. What is the number of women working in the Marketing department?
    1. 41
    2. 34
    3. 46
    4. 39
    5. None of these
Correct Option: D

Given :- The total number of employees in the organisation = 520
Ratio of men to women in the organisation = 5 : 3
Total number of women in the organisation = 3 x 65 = 195
Number of women work in the HR department = 195 of 40% = 78

Number of women work in the IT department = 195 of 2 = 78
5

∴ Number of women working in the Marketing department = Total number of women in the organisation - ( Number of women working in the HR department + Number of women work in the IT department )
= [ 195 - ( 78 + 78 ) ] = 195 - 156 = 39
