Given:

Total employees = 3000

Accounts = 18%, Marketing = 23%, IT = 27%, Administration = 20%

Ratios: Accounts M:F = 11:7, Marketing = 12:11, IT = 14:13, Administration = 3:2

Formula used:

Dept emp = total × % /100

Male = (M/(M + F)) × dept employees 

Female = (F/(M + F)) × dept employees 

Required ratio = male(Accounts  + IT) : female(Marketing + Admin)

Calculations:

Accounts  employees = (3000 × 18)/100 = 540

Accounts male = (11/(11 + 7)) × 540 = (11/18) × 540 = 11 × 30 = 330

⇒ IT employees = (3000 × 27)/100 = 810

⇒ IT male = (14/(14 + 13)) × 810 = (14/27) × 810 = 14 × 30 = 420

Marketing employees = (3000 × 23)/100 = 690

Marketing female = (11/(12 + 11)) × 690 = (11/23) × 690 = 11 × 30 = 330

⇒ Admin employees = (3000 × 20)/100 = 600

⇒ Admin female = (2/(3 + 2)) × 600 = (2/5) × 600 = 2 × 120 = 240

⇒ Total male = 330 + 420 = 750

⇒ Total female = 330 + 240 = 570

∴ Ratio = 750 : 570 = 25 : 19
