Answer»

As per GIVEN data-

Ratio of male to FEMALE employees in COMPANY is 1 ? 2.

Let’s assume common multiplication constant be k.

∴ Total number of male employees in company is k & total number of female employees in company is 2k.

When 2 males and 2 females LEFT from job new ratio becomes 1 ? 3.

(k - 2)/ (2k - 2) = 1/3

∴ 3k - 6 = 2k - 2

∴ k = 4

∴ Number of male employees is 4 and female employees are 8.

When 2 male and 2 female employees left new number of male and female employees will be 2, 6.
