Average hourly wage of male employees = 9.97 $
Average hourly wage of female employees = 10.37 $
Average hourly wage of all employees = 10.12 $
Let number of male employees = m
number of female employees = f
10.12 = (9.97m + 10.37f ) / m+f
=>10.12m + 10.12f = 9.97m + 10.37f
=> .15m = .25f
=> m/f = .25/.15 = 5/3
Answer D
Alternatively ,
9.97 --- 10.12 ----- 10.37
The overall average is .15 more than male average and .25 lesser than female average
so the ratio of distances is 3:5
Number of employees will be in inverse proportion - 5:3

Remove decimal point and check the answer options
A) 1 to 2
997 *1 + 1037*2 = 3071/3 => 1,023.67
B) 2 to 3
997 *2 + 1037*3 = 5,105/3 => 1,701.67
C) 3 to 2
997 *2 + 1037*3 = 6,102/5 => 1,220.4
D) 5 to 3
997 *5 + 1037*3 = 8096/8 => 1,012.00
E) 2 to 1
997 *2 + 1037*1 = 3,031/3 => 1,010.33
So, Answer will be (D)
