Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 15 : 8.
Number of employees in production department = 30% of 2400 = 720
Number of female employees in production department = (3/8) × 720 = 270
Number of employees in IT department = 155 of 2400 = 360
Number of male employees in IT department = (2/5) × 360 = 144
Required ratio = 270 : 144 = 15 : 8
