Total employees on leave = 149
The ratio of sick leave to maternity leave = 4:1 = 4x : x
The number of employees on educational leave = x+5
So, the total = 4x + x + x+5 = 6x+5 = 149
x = 24
Number of sick leave : Maternity leave : Educational leave = 96 : 24 : 29
People who returned to work :
For sick leave = (1/3)* 96 = 32.
So, number of sick leave employees still on leave = 96-32 = 64
Maternity leave = (1/2)*24 = 12.
So, the number of maternity leave employees still on leave = 24 - 12 = 12.
Number of employees currently on leave = 64 + 12 + 29 = 105
Option C
