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.
What is the pooled average of the total number of employees of all categories in the year 1997?
1325
1195
1265
1235
Correct answer is B
Total number of employees of various categories working in the Company in 1997 are:
Managers = (760 + 280 + 179) - (120 + 92) = 1007.
Technicians = (1200 + 272 + 240) - (120 + 128) = 1464.
Operators = (880 + 256 + 240) - (104 + 120) = 1152.
Accountants = (1160 + 200 + 224) - (100 + 104) = 1380.
Peons = (820 + 184 + 152) - (96 + 88) = 972.
Therefore Pooled average of all the five categories of employees working in the Company in 1997
= 1/5 x (1007 + 1464 + 1152 + 1380 + 972)
= 1/5 x (5975)
= 1195.
