Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the problem
We need to calculate the total salary expense of the Administration department in 2005. We are given: - Total employees in 2005 = 18,000 - Percentage in Administration (A) = 22% - Average monthly salary per employee in Administration = Rs. 12,000

Step 2: Find the number of employees in Administration
Number of employees in A = 22% of 18,000 = (22 ÷ 100) × 18,000 = 3960 employees.

Step 3: Calculate the total monthly salary expense
Monthly expense = Number of employees × Average salary = 3960 × 12,000 = 47,520,000 Rs.

Step 4: Convert into crores
1 crore = 1,00,00,000 Rs. 47,520,000 ÷ 1,00,00,000 = 4.752 crores ≈ 4.7 crores.

Step 5: Conclusion
The approximate total monthly salary expense of Administration in 2005 was Rs. 4.7 crores.

Final Answer: The correct option is (B): Rs. 4.7 crores.

Answer 2

Step 1: Understand the problem
We are asked to find the percentage increase in the number of employees in the Sales & Marketing department (C) from 2005 to 2006.

Step 2: Extract data from the pie charts
2005: Total employees = 18,000, Percentage in C = 18% Number of employees in C (2005) = 18% of 18,000 = (18 ÷ 100) × 18,000 = 3240

2006: Total employees = 20,000, Percentage in C = 20% Number of employees in C (2006) = 20% of 20,000 = (20 ÷ 100) × 20,000 = 4000

Step 3: Find the increase in employees
Increase = 4000 – 3240 = 760

Step 4: Calculate percentage increase
Percentage increase = (Increase ÷ Initial) × 100 = (760 ÷ 3240) × 100 ≈ 23.45%

Step 5: Conclusion
The percentage increase in the number of employees in Sales & Marketing is approximately 23.45%.

Final Answer: The correct option is (C): 23.45%

Answer 3

Step 1: Understand the problem
We need to determine which department had the maximum variation in employee strength between 2005 and 2006. Variation here means the absolute difference in the number of employees.

Step 2: Calculate employee numbers for 2005
- A (22% of 18,000) = 3960 - B (23% of 18,000) = 4140 - C (18% of 18,000) = 3240 - D (29% of 18,000) = 5220 - E (8% of 18,000) = 1440

Step 3: Calculate employee numbers for 2006
- A (24% of 20,000) = 4800 - B (26% of 20,000) = 5200 - C (20% of 20,000) = 4000 - D (20% of 20,000) = 4000 - E (10% of 20,000) = 2000

Step 4: Find the variations
- A: |4800 – 3960| = 840 - B: |5200 – 4140| = 1060 - C: |4000 – 3240| = 760 - D: |4000 – 5220| = 1220 - E: |2000 – 1440| = 560

Step 5: Identify maximum variation
The maximum variation is 1220, which occurred in Department D (Finance & Accounts).

Step 6: Conclusion
The department with the maximum variation in strength in 2006 is D.

Final Answer: The correct option is (C): D

Answer 4

Step 1: Understand the problem
We are told that 300 employees left the Operations department (B) at the end of 2005. We need to calculate how many new employees joined in 2006, given the final numbers for 2006.

Step 2: Find Operations employees in 2005
Percentage of B in 2005 = 23% Total employees in 2005 = 18,000 Employees in B (2005) = 23% of 18,000 = (23 ÷ 100) × 18,000 = 4140

Step 3: Subtract those who left
Employees at end of 2005 after 300 left = 4140 – 300 = 3840

Step 4: Find Operations employees in 2006
Percentage of B in 2006 = 26% Total employees in 2006 = 20,000 Employees in B (2006) = 26% of 20,000 = (26 ÷ 100) × 20,000 = 5200

Step 5: Calculate how many joined in 2006
New joiners = Employees in 2006 – Employees left-over after 2005 = 5200 – 3840 = 1360

Step 6: Conclusion
The number of employees who joined Operations in 2006 was 1360.

Final Answer: The correct option is (C): 1360
