Option A is the correct answer.

Explanatory Answer

In a company, 20% of the employees work in the manufacturing department.” The ratio of number of manufacturing to non-manufacturing employees = 1: 4 

 

So, let the number of manufacturing to non-manufacturing employees be x and 4x respectively. “the total salary obtained by all the manufacturing employees is one-sixth of the total salary obtained by all the employees in the company,” Ratio of total salaries of manufacturing to non-manufacturing employees = 1: 5 

 

So, let the total salaries of manufacturing to non-manufacturing employees be y and 5y respectively.

 

So, the ratio of average salaries of manufacturing to non-manufacturing employees will be y/x:5y/ 4x=4:5
