Correct Answer

Explanation


The total salary of males: the total salary of females = 6:5
The salary of each male: salary of each female = 2:3

To find the number of men and women, divide the total salary of males and females by salary of each male and female.
i.e., 6/2: 5/3
Or, 18: 10 = 9: 5
So, the ratio of the number of males and females = 9:5
