Answers
Answer:
Total number of employees in the organization are 405
Step-by-step explanation:
Let there are x employee in the organization and y be software professionals
Then according to condition given in the question
(2/3) of x = y
⇒ 2x/3 = y .......(1)
Now According to second condition
1/9 of y = y/9 = women
Then
Men = y - y/9 = (9y - y)/9 = 8y/9 ......(2)
We are given
Men = 240 ......(3)
Comparing equation (2) and (3) we get
8y/9 = 240
⇒ 8y = 240 × 9
⇒ 8y = 2160
⇒ y = 2160/8
⇒ y = 270
So
Total software professional = 270
Putting the value of y = 270 in the equation (1) we get
2x/3 = 270
2x = 270 × 3 = 810
⇒ 2x = 810
⇒ x = 810/2
⇒ x = 405
Thus
Total number of employees in the organization are 405
