Question
In 2020, 62(1/2)% of employees in a company were male.
In 2021, the total number of employees and the number of male employees increased by 28(4/7)% and 30% respectively. What is the ratio of number of males in 2021 to the difference between number of female employees in both years?Solution
ATQ,
Let the number of employees be 8n. Number of males = (5/8) × 8n = 5n Number of females = 8n - 5n = 3n Number of employees in next year = (29/21) × 8n = 11n Number of males in next year = (13/10) × 5n = 6.5n Number of females in next year = 11n - 6.5n = 4.5n Required ratio = 6.5n : (4.5n - 3n) = 6.5n : 1.5n = 13 : 3
