female workers to male workers ratio is 5:4 or 5/9 and 4/9.
2 additional men and an equal number of women are hired the total number of employees becomes 94.
So total number of employees before hiring were 90 (94-2-2).
Before hiring number of female were 5/9* 90 = 50 and number of male were 4/9 * 90 = 40.
After hiring females are 52 (50+2) and males are 42 (40+2).
Therefore, ratio of female to male employees is 52:42 i.g. 26:21.
Answer is E. 26 : 21.

F:M = 5x:4x
5x+2+4x+2=94
9x=90
x=10
Female = 50, Male = 40
After hiring, Female = 52, Male = 42
Ratio= 52/42=26/21
5x+2+4x+2=94
9x=90
x=10
Female = 50, Male = 40
After hiring, Female = 52, Male = 42
Ratio= 52/42=26/21
