Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 172.
Given that
If the accounts department has 198 and R & D has 100 male employees
The percentage of female employees in R & D = 60%
The percentage of female employees in the Accounts Department = 60%
Hence, total female employees in these two departments = 198/90 × 10 + 100/40 × 60 = 22 + 150 = 172
