Ans. [tex]\qquad[/tex]



Answer :

To determine how many employees are posted in Southern India, let's follow a step-by-step approach:

1. Identify the Total Number of Employees:
The total number of employees in the company is 88,000.

2. Determine the Fraction of Employees Posted in Northern India:
We know that [tex]\(\frac{3}{8}\)[/tex] of the total employees are posted in Northern India.

3. Calculate the Number of Employees in Northern India:
To find the number of employees in Northern India, multiply the total number of employees by the fraction:
[tex]\[ \text{Number of employees in Northern India} = \frac{3}{8} \times 88000 \][/tex]

4. Substitute the Values and Perform the Multiplication:
[tex]\[ \text{Number of employees in Northern India} = \frac{3}{8} \times 88000 = 33000 \][/tex]
So, there are 33,000 employees in Northern India.

5. Determine the Number of Employees in Southern India:
Since the rest of the employees are posted in Southern India, we subtract the number of Northern India employees from the total number of employees:
[tex]\[ \text{Number of employees in Southern India} = 88000 - 33000 = 55000 \][/tex]

Hence, the number of employees posted in Southern India is [tex]\(55,000\)[/tex].
