The ratio of men to women in a company is 5:3. If 20% of the men and 25% of the women are in management positions, and there are 45 women in management, what is the total number of employees in the company?

A 360
B 480
C 560
D 600

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

If 25% of women is 45, then total women = 45 / 0.25 = 180. The ratio of men to women is 5:3. Since 3 parts = 180 women, 1 part = 60. So, men = 5 parts = 5 * 60 = 300. Total employees = 300 + 180 = 480.
