For which of the following categories the percentage increase in the number of employees working in the Company from 1995 to 2000 was the maximum?

A Managers

B Technicians

C Operators

D Accountants

ANS:A - Managers

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) x 100 ] % = 64.74%.
760
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) x 100 ] % = 61.33%.
1200
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) x 100 ] % = 64.09%.
880
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) x 100 ] % = 62.41%.
1160
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) x 100 ] % = 57.07%.
820
Clearly, the percentage increase is maximum in case of Managers.
