Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

200%

Solution :

The correct answer is 200%.


Step 1: Understand the given data

Let the number of male employees in company Y be MY and female employees in company Y be FY.

Let the number of male employees in company Z be MZ and female employees in company Z be FZ.


From the problem statement:

1. Number of male employees in company Y: MY=250

2. Total number of male employees in both companies is 400:

MY+MZ=400

3. Number of male employees in company Z is equal to the number of female employees in company Y:

MZ=FY

4. Number of female employees in company Z is double that of female employees in company Y:

FZ=2×FY


Step 2: Calculate the number of male employees in company Z (MZ)

Using the total male employees equation:

250+MZ=400

MZ=400-250=150


Step 3: Calculate female employees in company Y (FY) and company Z (FZ)

Since MZ=FY:

FY=150


Now, finding female employees in company Z:

FZ=2×FY=2×150=300


Step 4: Calculate the required percentage

We need to find what percentage the number of female employees in company Z (FZ) is of the male employees in company Z (MZ):

Percentage=FZMZ×100

Percentage=300150×100=2×100=200%


Thus, the number of female employees working in company Z is 200% of the male employees working in the same company.
