Solution :

The correct option is 19,040.

Based on the provided table, the total number of employees working in all five organisations is 35,000. Let's calculate the number of female employees in each organisation step-by-step.

1. Organisation A:
Percentage of employees = 18%
Total employees in A:
18% of 35,000=18100×35,000=6,300
The ratio of male to female employees is 3:7.
Number of female employees in A:
73+7×6,300=710×6,300=4,410

2. Organisation B:
Percentage of employees = 22%
Total employees in B:
22% of 35,000=22100×35,000=7,700
The ratio of male to female employees is 11:9.
Number of female employees in B:
911+9×7,700=920×7,700=3,465

3. Organisation C:
Percentage of employees = 31%
Total employees in C:
31% of 35,000=31100×35,000=10,850
The ratio of male to female employees is 3:2.
Number of female employees in C:
23+2×10,850=25×10,850=4,340

4. Organisation D:
Percentage of employees = 15%
Total employees in D:
15% of 35,000=15100×35,000=5,250
The ratio of male to female employees is 2:3.
Number of female employees in D:
32+3×5,250=35×5,250=3,150

5. Organisation E:
Percentage of employees = 14%
Total employees in E:
14% of 35,000=14100×35,000=4,900
The ratio of male to female employees is 1:3.
Number of female employees in E:
31+3×4,900=34×4,900=3,675

Total Female Employees:
Adding the number of females in all the five organisations together:
Total Females=4,410+3,465+4,340+3,150+3,675=19,040
