Correct Answer: 3.75%
Solution :
Total workforce = 7200
Total new hires = 324
Percentage of employees in IT section = 30%
Current number of employees in IT section = $30\times{\frac{7200}{100}}$ = 2160
Percentage of new hiring in the IT section = 25%
Number of New hires employees in the IT section = $25\times{\frac{324}{100}}$ = 81
$\therefore$ Increase in the number of employees in the IT department after the recruitment drive = $\frac{81}{2160}\times{100}$ = 3.75%
Hence, the correct answer is 3.75%.
