Answer:

Correct Answer: E

Solution:

  • Let number of men and women working In IT department be 5x and 4x, respectively, Then, $ 5x+4x=23 $ % of 1800

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 9x=414 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=46 $

$ \therefore $ Number of women working in IT department $ =46\times 8=184 $

$ \therefore $ Required percentage $ =\frac{184}{1800}\times 100\approx 10.2\approx 10 $ %
