Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The correct option is (B): 257
Explanation
To find the total number of new employees (female and male) in all the companies in **1999 and 2000**, we need to sum the number of new employees for both years.
For 1999:
- A: Female = 4, Male = 5 (Total = 9)
- B: Female = 10, Male = 12 (Total = 22)
- C: Female = 67, Male = 13 (Total = 80)
- D: Female = 4, Male = 3 (Total = 7)
- E: Female = 4, Male = 4 (Total = 8)
Total for 1999 = 9 + 22 + 80 + 7 + 8 = 126
For 2000:
- A: Female = 4, Male = 6 (Total = 10)
- B: Female = 11, Male = 12 (Total = 23)
- C: Female = 66, Male = 11 (Total = 77)
- D: Female = 6, Male = 5 (Total = 11)
- E: Female = 5, Male = 5 (Total = 10)
Total for 2000 = 10 + 23 + 77 + 11 + 10 = 131
Now, adding the totals for 1999 and 2000:
126 + 131 = 257
Thus, the total number of new employees in 1999 and 2000 is 257.

Answer 2

The correct option is (C): 20
Explanation
From the table, the number of new **female employees in 2001** for each company is:
- A: 5
- B: 9
- C: 74
- D: 8
- E: 4
Total number of new female employees in 2001 = 5 + 9 + 74 + 8 + 4 = 100
Now, divide the total by the number of companies (5):
Average = 100 ÷ 5 = 20
Thus, the average number of new female employees per company in 2001 is 20.

Answer 3

The correct option is (A): 66\(\%\)
Explanation:
To calculate the percentage of new male employees collectively employed by companies B, C, and D in 2002, we need to follow these steps:
1. Total number of new male employees in 2002 for all companies:
- From the table:
    - A: 12
    - B: 23
    - C: 6
    - D: 6
    - E: 6
Total new male employees in 2002 = 12 + 23 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 53
2. New male employees in companies B, C, and D in 2002:
  - B: 23
  - C: 6
  - D: 6
Total for B, C, and D = 23 + 6 + 6 = 35
3. Percentage of new male employees employed by B, C, and D:
  (35 ÷ 53) × 100 = 66%
Thus, companies B, C, and D employed 66% of the new male employees in 2002.

Answer 4

The correct option is (B): 6:1
Explanation
To calculate the ratio of new female employees to new male employees in Company C in 2000, we refer to the table:
- New female employees in Company C in 2000: 66
- New male employees in Company C in 2000: 11
Now, we find the ratio:
\[\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Female employees}}{\text{Male employees}} = \frac{66}{11} = 6:1\]
So, the ratio of new female employees to new male employees in Company C in 2000 is 6:1.
