Correct Answer :

Option A

41

41

Solution :

Based on the provided bar graph, we can determine the total number of employees for each company by identifying the heights of the bars:
Total employees in Company A = 220
Total employees in Company B = 196
Total employees in Company C = 224
Total employees in Company D = 200
Total employees in Company E = 204

We are given that:
Total Employees = Graduate (G) + Post Graduate (PG)
Graduate Employees > Post Graduate Employees, with the differences given in the table.
Therefore, for any company:

G + PG = Total

G - PG = Difference

From these equations, we can calculate the number of Graduate (G) and Post Graduate (PG) employees for each company using:

G = Total + Difference 2

PG = Total - Difference 2

Let's find the required values:

1. Graduate employees in B:
Total for B = 196, Difference = 2
G B = 196 + 2 2 = 99

2. Graduate employees in D:
Total for D = 200, Difference = 90
G D = 200 + 90 2 = 145

3. Post Graduate employees in A:
Total for A = 220, Difference = 4
PG A = 220 - 4 2 = 108

4. Post Graduate employees in E:
Total for E = 204, Difference = 96
PG E = 204 - 96 2 = 54

Now, calculate the averages:

Average number of graduate employees in B and D:
Average G(B,D) = 99 + 145 2 = 244 2 = 122

Average number of post graduate employees in A and E:
Average PG(A,E) = 108 + 54 2 = 162 2 = 81

Finally, find the difference between the two averages:
Difference = 122 - 81 = 41

Therefore, the correct option is 41.
