Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Department-A had 22% of the employees in 2018.
Number of employees in Department-A in 2018 = 22% of 18000 = (22/100) x 18000 = 3960.
Total monthly salary expense = Number of employees x Average monthly salary = 3960 x 24000 = Rs 9,50,40,000.
Rs 9,50,40,000 is approximately Rs 9.5 crores.
