Here,
\(\frac{1}{3}\) are in division A = \(\frac{1}{3} * 312\) = \(104\)
Employees remaining in Div B = \(312 - 104 = 208\)
Total women employees = \(\frac{2}{3} * 312\) = 208
No. of women employees in Div B = \(\frac{5}{8 } * 208\) = 130
Women employees in Div A = \(208 - 130 = 78\)
and no. of men employees in Div A =\( 104 - 78 = 26\)
