Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

5%

Solution :

The correct answer is 5%.

Let us find the percentage step-by-step:
1. First, identify the number of employees from Pune in the year 2018 from the table. Looking at the row for 2018 under the column Pune, the number of employees is:
Pune (2018) = 179

2. Next, calculate the total number of employees across all towns in 2018 by summing the values in the row corresponding to the year 2018:
Total (2018) = Hyderabad + Punjab + Pune + Kolkata + Delhi
Total (2018) = 874 + 850 + 179 + 857 + 820

Let's perform the addition:
874 + 850 = 1724
1724 + 179 = 1903
1903 + 857 = 2760
2760 + 820 = 3580

So, the total number of employees in all towns in 2018 is:
Total (2018) = 3580

3. Now, find what percent the employees from Pune (179) are of the total employees (3580) in 2018:
Percentage = (Employees from Pune / Total Employees) × 100

Percentage = 179 3580 × 100

Simplifying the fraction:
179 3580 = 1 20 (since 179 × 20 = 3580)
Therefore:
Percentage = 1 20 × 100 = 5 %

Thus, the employees from Pune in 2018 are 5% of the total employees of all towns together in that year.
