Question

The pie chart given below shows the percentage of employees in various departments of a company having a total workforce of 7200.
Percentage of employees

Suppose the company plans to hire 324 more employees in the upcoming recruitment drive, of which 25% will be for the IT department, what would be the percentage increase in the number of employees in the IT department after the recruitment drive?

A.

3.75%

B.

9%

C.

12.5%

D.

5%

Correct option is A

Number of IT employees before hiring = 30% of 7200 = (3/10) × 7200 = 2160
 Increase in the number of IT employees after hiring = 25% × 324 = (1/4) × 324 = 81
∴ Percentage increase in the number of IT employee = (81/2160) × 100 = 3.75%
