In which department is the variation of the strength of employees maximum in 2021 in comparison to that in 2020?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Department 5.
In Department 1, the required variation in the strength = 24 - 21 = 3
In Department 2, the required variation in the strength = 22 - 21 = 1
In Department 4, the required variation in the strength = 19 - 19 = 0
In Department 5, the required variation in the strength = 20 - 16 = 4
Hence, Department 5 is the right answer.
