Direction for questions 1 to 5:

Based on the data in the table, answer the questions that follow. The following table presents the percentage breakup of employees and the ratio of male to female employees working in five different organisations (A to E). There is a total number of 35,000 employees working in all five organisations.

What is the ratio of the number of employees in Organisation C to the number of employees in Organisation A?

The correct option is 217:126.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Analyze the data from the table:
From the given table, we can identify the percentage of employees working in each organization:
- Percentage of employees in Organisation A = 18%
- Percentage of employees in Organisation C = 31%

2. Set up the ratio:
We need to find the ratio of the number of employees in Organisation C to the number of employees in Organisation A.
Since the total number of employees (35,000) is the same for both, the ratio of the number of employees is directly equal to the ratio of their respective percentages.

$$\text{Ratio}=\frac{\text{Number of employees in Organisation C}}{\text{Number of employees in Organisation A}}=\frac{31\%\text{of total employees}}{18\%\text{of total employees}}=\frac{31}{18}$$

3. Simplify or match with the options:
The ratio in its simplest form is 31:18. To match this with the given options, we can multiply both terms of the ratio by 7:

$$\text{Numerator}=31\times 7=217$$

$$\text{Denominator}=18\times 7=126$$

Therefore, the required ratio is 217:126.
