Study the given table chart carefully and answer the question that follows.
The given table represents the number of employees in five different organisations, i.e., A, B, C, D and E in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
| Organisation | Years | |||
| 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | |
| A | 4000 | 7800 | 2600 | 5200 |
| B | 3800 | 9200 | 9100 | 7300 |
| C | 4500 | 5500 | 7800 | 3250 |
| D | 7000 | 3800 | 8000 | 4650 |
| E | 6600 | 6200 | 7600 | 2880 |
The ratio of the number of employees in 2019 in organisations D and E taken together to that in 2021 in the same organisations is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 34 : 39.
Given that
The number of employees in 2019 in organisations D and E together= 7000 + 6600 = 13600
The number of employees in 2021 in organisations D and E together = 8000 + 7600 = 15600
Hence, the required ratio = 13600/15600 = 34/39 i.e. 34 : 39
