Data
Interpreatation and Data Analysis of given caselet :
Total number of employees = 1700
Females :
Let total female
employees be 100%
34% in HR
department , 20% in Marketing , 18% in Finance
Remaining female
employees = (100% -( 34%++20% + 18% ))=28%=224
28% of female
employees working in Administrative department = 224 =>1% =$\frac{224}{28}$
=8
Females in HR department = 34% = 34 x 8 =
272
Females in Marketing department = 20% = 20
x 8 = 160
Females in Finance department = 18% = 18 x
8 =144
Females in Manufacturing department = 0
Total female
employees = 800
Males :
Total male
employees = Total employees – Total female employees = 1700-800 = 900
Males in HR dept = 12% of total males = $\frac{12}{100}$
x 900 =
108
Males in Marketing dept =$ \frac{35}{100}$
x 900 = 315
Males in Finance
dept = $ \frac{30}{100}$10 x 900 = 270
Males in
Adminstration dept =$ \frac{10}{100}$ x 900 = 900
Remaining male
employees = 100% - (12% + 35% +30% +10% ) =13%
Male employees
working in Manufacturing department = $ \frac{13}{100}$ x 900 =117
Questions with
Explanations :
1. If the male employees in Finance
department increase by 10%, the male employees in the Administration department
increase by 20%, 23 male employees join the Manufacturing department and the number
of male employees in HR and Marketing department remains the same, what is the
percentage increase in the number of male employees in the organization?
a)7
$\frac{4}{9}$
b)7 $\frac{1}{9}$ c)7 5/9 d)7 $\frac{2}{9}$ e)None
Answer:
Explanation :
Number of male
employees initially = 900
Male employees in
Finance increases by 10% = 270 x $ \frac{110}{100}$ = 297
Male employees in Administration depart increases
by 20% = 90 x $ \frac{120}{100}$ = 108
23 male employees
join Manufacturing department = 117 + 23 = 140
There is no change in the number of employees
in Marketing and HR dept.
Number of employees increased = 27 +
18 +23 =68
Percentage increase in the number of male
employees = $ \frac{68}{900}$x 100% = 7 $\frac{5}{9}$%
2. The total
number of male employees working in the Marketing and Finance department
together is what percent of the total number of employees (male and female)
working in these two departments together?
a)66 b)63 c)62 d)60 e)70
Answer :
Explanation :
Total number of
male employees working in the Marketing Dept=315
Total number of
male employees working in the Finance Dept= 270
The total number of
male employees working in the Marketing and Finance department= 315+270=585
Total number of
employees (male and female) working in Marketing dept=315+160=475
total number of
employees (male and female) working in Finance dept = 270+144=414
total number of
employees (male and female) working in these two departments together
= 475 +414 =889
Required percentage = $\frac{585}{889}$ x 100% = 65.8%
= 66% approximately
3. If 26 male
employees from the HR department are transferred to the Administration department and
28 female employees from Administration department are transferred to the HR department, what is the ratio of the number of male employees to the number of
female employees in the Administration department after the transfer of employees?
a)
23:49 b) 29:49 c) 25:49 d)23.47
e) 25:47
Answer : B
Explanation:
26 male employees
from Hr department are transferred to the Administration department.
Number of male employees
in Admin Dept after transfer of 26 males from HR = 90 + 26 =116
28 female employees
from the Administration department are transferred to the HR department
Number of females
employees in Admin dept after the transfer of 28 females to HR = 224-28=196
the ratio of the number
of male employees to the number of female employees in Administration
department after the transfer of employees
=116 : 196 = 29 :49
4. What is the average number of employees
(male and female) who work in Manufacturing, Marketing, and Administration
department together?
a)
360 b) 392 c) 302 d) 368 e)386
Answer : C
Explanation: The average number of employees (both male and female) who work in Manufacturing,
Marketing and Administration dept = $\frac{315+160+117+0+90+224}{3}$ = $\frac{906}{3}$ =302
5. If an equal number of female employees and
male employees working in the Finance department are left, then the number of employees working in the same
department reduces to 40: 19. What is the total number of employees working in
Finance department who left the job?
a) 20 b) 60 c)30 d) 50
e)40
Answer :C
Explanation: Let
the number of employees left Finance dept be x
When x number of male
employees and x number of females employees left Finance dept, their ratio becomes 40:19
Then , $\frac{270-x}{144-x}$= $ \frac{40}{19}$
21x = (144x40)-(270x19)
=> 21x=5760 – 5130
21x = 630
=>x=$\frac{630}{21}$ = 30 Therefore, 30 males and 30 females left Finance dept
21x = (144x40)-(270x19)
=> 21x=5760 – 5130
21x = 630
=>x=$\frac{630}{21}$ = 30 Therefore, 30 males and 30 females left Finance dept

let 12 :
There are two
trains, Train A and Train B. Both trains have four different types of coaches
viz. General coaches, Sleeper coaches First class Coaches and AC coaches. In
Train A there is a total of 700 passengers.
Train B has thirty
percent more passengers than Train A. Twenty percent of the passengers of Train
A is in general coaches. One-fourth of the total number of passengers from Train
A is in AC coaches.
Twenty-three
percent of the passengers of Train A are in sleeper class coaches. Remaining
passengers of Train A are in first-class coaches. Total number of passengers in
AC coaches in both the trains together are 480. Thirty percent of the number of
passengers of Train B is in sleeper class coaches.
Ten percent of the
total passengers of Train B is in first-class coaches. Remaining passengers of
Train B is in general class coaches.
Data Analysis and Data Interpretation of the given case let :
TRAIN A :
Total number of passengers = 700
Passengers in
general coaches = 20%of total passengers of train A = $\frac{20}{100}$
x 700 = 140
Passengers in AC
coaches = ¼ of total passengers of train A =$\frac{1}{4}$ x 700 = 175
Passengers in Sleeper
coaches = 23% of total passengers of train A =$\frac{23}{100}$ x 700 = 161
Passengers in
general coaches = Remaining passengers =
700 – (140+175+161) = 224
Train B :
Total number of
passengers = 30% more than passengers of train A = $\frac{130}{100}$ x 700 =910
Total number of
passengers in AC coaches in both trains= 480
Passengers in AC
coaches in train B= Total passengers in AC coaches – Passengers in AC coaches
of train A = 480-175=305
Passengers in Sleeper
coaches = 30% of total passengers of train B = $\frac{30}{100}$ x 910 = 273
Passengers in first
class = 10%of total passengers of train B = $\frac{10}{100}$ x 910 = 91
Passengers in
general coaches = Remaining passengers = 910 – (305+273+91) = 241
