Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • Let number of men and women in Accounts department be 2x and 7x, respectively. Then, $ 2x+7x=17 $ % of 1800

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 9x=306 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=34 $

$ \therefore $ Number of men in Accounts department $ =2\times 34=68 $ Total number of employees in Accounts department = 306

$ \therefore $ Required ratio = 68: 306 = 2: 9
