Question 1
The correct answer is

E

The question spans all five years, so each employee's column has to be totalled down the table.

A: \(280 + 300 + 310 + 315 + 295 = 1500\).

B: \(310 + 290 + 300 + 310 + 300 = 1510\).

C: \(315 + 310 + 315 + 315 + 300 = 1555\).

D: \(315 + 315 + 310 + 310 + 305 = 1555\).

E: \(320 + 325 + 320 + 330 + 310 = 1605\).

Comparing the five totals, 1605 is the largest, and it belongs to E. The reading is confirmed by the rows themselves, since E records the highest figure in every one of the five years, so no other column could overtake it.

Hence the employee with the maximum working days during 2018-2022 is E.

Question 2
The correct answer is

C and D

The five column totals over 2018-2022 are needed again, so compute each one.

A: \(280 + 300 + 310 + 315 + 295 = 1500\).

B: \(310 + 290 + 300 + 310 + 300 = 1510\).

C: \(315 + 310 + 315 + 315 + 300 = 1555\).

D: \(315 + 315 + 310 + 310 + 305 = 1555\).

E: \(320 + 325 + 320 + 330 + 310 = 1605\).

Scanning the totals for a repeated value, only C and D match, both standing at 1555. Note that they reach the same total by different routes — C works more days in 2019 while D works more in 2018 and 2022 — so the equality shows up only after the columns are summed and cannot be spotted row by row.

The other combinations fail: A and B differ by 10, and B and D differ by 45.

Hence the employees with equal total working days are C and D.
