The following table shows the number of new employees added to different categories of employees in a company and also the number of employees from these categories who left the company every year since the foundation of the Company in 1995.
For which of the following categories was the percentage increase in the number of employees working in the Company from 1995 to 2000 the maximum?
Managers
Technicians
Operators
Accountants
Correct answer is A
Number of Managers working in the Company:
In 1995 = 760.
In 2000 = (760 + 280 + 179 + 148 + 160 + 193) - (120 + 92 + 88 + 72 + 96)
= 1252.
Therefore Percentage increase in the number of Managers
= [ (1252 - 760)/760 x 100 ] % = 64.74%.
Number of Technicians working in the Company:
In 1995 = 1200.
In 2000 = (1200 + 272 + 240 + 236 + 256 + 288) - (120 + 128 + 96 + 100 + 112)
= 1936.
Therefore Percentage increase in the number of Technicians
= [ (1936 - 1200)/1200 x 100 ] % = 61.33%.
Number of Operators working in the Company:
In 1995 = 880.
In 2000 = (880 + 256 + 240 + 208 + 192 + 248) - (104 + 120 + 100 + 112 + 144)
= 1444.
Therefore Percentage increase in the number of Operators
= [ (1444 - 880)/880 x 100 ] % = 64.09%.
Number of Accountants working in the Company:
In 1995 = 1160.
In 2000 = (1160 + 200 + 224 + 248 + 272 + 260) - (100 + 104 + 96 + 88 + 92)
= 1884.
Therefore Percentage increase in the number of Accountants
= [ (1884 - 1160)/1160 x 100 ] % = 62.41%.
Number of Peons working in the Company:
In 1995 = 820.
In 2000 = (820 + 184 + 152 + 196 + 224 + 200) - (96 + 88 + 80 + 120 + 104)
= 1288.
Therefore Percentage increase in the number of Peons = [ (1288 - 820)/820 x 100 ] % = 57.07%.
Clearly, the percentage increase is maximum in case of Managers
