Correct Answer :

Option B

10: 1

Solution :

The correct option is 10: 1.

Let's analyze the given bar graph carefully to extract data for companies C and E.

From the bar graph:

For Company C:
- Number of employees working from Office = 180
- Percentage of employees working from Home = 40%

Since the total percentage of employees in any company is 100%, the percentage of employees working from Office is:

100%-40%=60%

Therefore, 60% of total employees in C = 180

Total employees in C=18060×100=300

Number of employees working from Home in company C:

Home (C)=300-180=120

(Or directly, 40% of 300=120)


For Company E:
- Number of employees working from Office = 300
- Percentage of employees working from Home = 80%

Percentage of employees working from Office in company E is:

100%-80%=20%

Therefore, 20% of total employees in E = 300

Total employees in E=30020×100=1500

Number of employees working from Home in company E:

Home (E)=1500-300=1200

(Or directly, 80% of 1500=1200)


Required Ratio:
Ratio of employees working from Home in company E to that in company C:

Ratio=Home (E)Home (C)=1200120=101=10:1

Hence, the required ratio is 10: 1.
