Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

10: 1

Solution :

The correct option is 10: 1.

From the given bar graph, we can observe the following data for different companies regarding employees working from the office and the percentage of employees working from home:

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

Let the total number of employees in company C be TC.
Since 40% of employees work from Home, the percentage of employees working from Office is:

100%-40%=60%

Therefore:

60% of TC=180

TC=180×10060=300

Number of employees working from Home in company C:

=40% of 300=120

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

Let the total number of employees in company E be TE.
Since 80% of employees work from Home, the percentage of employees working from Office is:

100%-80%=20%

Therefore:

20% of TE=300

TE=300×10020=1500

Number of employees working from Home in company E:

=80% of 1500=1200

Finding the required ratio:
Ratio of number of employees working from Home in company E to that in company C:

=1200120=101

Thus, the required ratio is 10: 1.
