Correct Answer :

Option C

91.95%

Solution :

The correct answer is 91.95%.

We need to find: what percentage are the females in colleges A and D combined of the males in colleges B and C combined.

Step 1: Find the number of female employees in College A and College D.

From the table:

College A → Total = 700, Female % = 35%
Females in A = 35% of 700 = 35100×700=245

College D → Total = 800, Female % = 55%
Females in D = 55% of 800 = 55100×800=440

Total Females in A and D = 245 + 440 = 685

Step 2: Find the number of male employees in College B and College C.

From the table:

College B → Total = 550, Male % = 70%
Males in B = 70% of 550 = 70100×550=385

College C → Total = 600, Male % = 60%
Males in C = 60% of 600 = 60100×600=360

Total Males in B and C = 385 + 360 = 745

Step 3: Calculate the required percentage.

Required % = Females in A and DMales in B and C×100

Required % = 685745×100

= 0.91946...×100 = 91.9463...%

Step 4: Round off to two decimal places.

91.9463...% ≈ 91.95%

Therefore, the number of females in colleges A and D together is 91.95% of the number of males in colleges B and C together.
