Correct Answer :

Option C

185

Solution :

The correct answer is 185.


Step-by-step Explanation:


From the given bar graph, we are provided with:

1. Blue Bar: Number of employees working from Office.

2. Orange Bar: Percentage of employees working from Home out of the total employees.


Let total number of employees in a company = Total Employees.

Since Total Employees = (Employees working from Office) + (Employees working from Home),

If Working from Home = x% of Total Employees, then Working from Office = (100 - x)% of Total Employees.

Therefore, total employees = Employees working from Office100-x×100

And Employees working from Home = x100-x×Employees working from Office


1. For Company A:

From the image, for company A:

- Employees working from Office (Blue Bar) = 150

- Percentage of employees working from Home (Orange Bar) = 60%

So, percentage of employees working from Office = 100% - 60% = 40%.


Employees working from Home in Company A:

=6040×150=225


2. For Company C:

From the image, for company C:

- Employees working from Office (Blue Bar) = 180

- Percentage of employees working from Home (Orange Bar) = 40%

So, percentage of employees working from Office = 100% - 40% = 60%.


Employees working from Home in Company C:

=4060×180=120


3. For Company D:

From the image, for company D:

- Employees working from Office (Blue Bar) = 210

- Percentage of employees working from Home (Orange Bar) = 50%

So, percentage of employees working from Office = 100% - 50% = 50%.


Employees working from Home in Company D:

=5050×210=210


4. Calculate Average:

Total employees working from Home in A, C, and D:

=225+120+210=555


Average number of employees working from Home in A, C, and D:

=5553=185


Thus, the required average is 185.
