Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e 39.2
Explanation:
The total number of engineers recruited by company B in 2014 and 2017 = 90 + 106 = 196
Total number of engineers recruited by C during 2015 to 2019 = 93 + 94 + 98 + 105 + 110 = 500
Required percentage = 196/500 × 100 = 39.2%
