• A. 10
• B. 8.1
• C. 100000
• D. 1000

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The injury rate per 1000 persons employed, as per DGMS norms, is calculated as follows: Injury rate = (Number of injuries / Number of persons employed) $\times$ 1000. Here, the number of injuries is 9, and the number of persons employed is 900. So, the injury rate = (9 / 900) $\times$ 1000 = 0.01 $\times$ 1000 = 10. Options 8.1, 100000, and 1000 do not match this calculation. Thus, the correct answer is 10.
