A company has six departments. The given bar graph shows the number of employees in each department for the years 2015 and 2018. The company added 80 new employees and fired some employees between the years 2015 and 2018. All the employees who were fired were from department C. If the employees of department C had NOT been fired, then the employee strength of department C in 2018 would have been greater by______.
12.5%
Calculation:
In 2015, No. of employees in all department = 20 + 40 + 50 + 70 + 80 + 30 = 290
In 2018, No. of employees in all department = 30 + 70 + 80 + 90 + 60 + 30 = 360
Difference = 360 - 290 = 70
According to question,
No of employees added = 80
Fired employees from C = 80 - 70 = 10
Strength of C in 2018 = 80 (Given)
If not fired, strength of C in 2018 = 80 + 10 = 90
Strength of department C in 2018 would have been greater by = (10/80) × 100
⇒ 12.5%
∴ Option 1 is the correct answer.
