Correct Answer :

Option A

121

Solution :

The correct answer is 121.

Step 1: Determine the number of male and female employees in Branch A and Branch C.

The ratio of male to female employees in Branch A is 7:10.

Let the number of male employees in Branch A be 7x and female employees in Branch A be 10x.

The number of female employees in Branch C is 20% more than the number of female employees in Branch A:


Female employees in Branch C=10x×1.20=12x

The number of male employees in Branch C is 6 more than the female employees in Branch C:


Male employees in Branch C=12x+6

Step 2: Find the value of x.

The average number of male employees across all three branches (A, B, and C) is 39. Therefore, the total number of male employees in branches A, B, and C combined is:


Total male employees=39×3=117

We are given that the number of male employees in Branch B is 35. Setting up the equation for total male employees:


Male (A)+Male (B)+Male (C)=117


7x+35+(12x+6)=117


19x+41=117


19x=117-41=76


x=7619=4

Step 3: Calculate the number of female employees in Branch B.

First, find the number of female employees in Branch C:


Female employees in Branch C=12×4=48

The number of female employees in Branch B is 25% more than in Branch C:


Female employees in Branch B=48×1.25=60

Step 4: Calculate the male and female employees in Branch D.

The number of male employees in Branch D is 40% more than in Branch B:


Male employees in Branch D=35×1.40=49

The number of female employees in Branch D is 20% more than in Branch B:


Female employees in Branch D=60×1.20=72

Step 5: Find the total number of employees in Branch D.


Total employees in Branch D=49+72=121

Thus, the total number of employees in Branch D is 121.
