Question 147

What is the number of females working in the HR Department

Solution

Total number of employees = 750

Males = $$\frac{8}{15} * 750$$ = 400

Females = 750 - 400 = 350

Females in Mgmt department = $$\frac{16}{100} * 350$$ = 56

Males in HR department = $$\frac{32}{100} * 400$$ = 128

Females in recruit department = $$\frac{1}{5} * 350$$ = 70

Males in Mgmt department = $$\frac{3}{2} * 56$$ = 84

Total employees in PR department = $$\frac{20}{100} * 750$$ = 150

Males in recruit department = 2 * 70 = 140

Males in IT department = $$\frac{8}{100} * 400$$ = 32

Males in PR department = 750 - 128 - 84 - 140 - 32 = 16

Females in PR department = 150 - 16 = 134

Females in HR department = $$\frac{22}{100} * 350$$ = 77

Females in IT department = 350 - 77 - 56 - 134 - 70 = 13

Clearly, number of females in the HR department = 77
