Solution:

Concept:

Find actual employee counts at location

B

for both years using the given percentages and totals, then form the ratio.

Explanation:

Total employees in 2015

= 90000

Employees at location

B

in 2015

= 5\%

90000 = \frac{5}{100} \times 90000 = 4500

Total employees in 2016

= 90000 + 20\%

90000 = 90000 \times 1.2 = 108000

Employees at location

B

in 2016

= 7\%

108000 = \frac{7}{100} \times 108000 = 7560

Required ratio

= 4500 : 7560 = \frac{4500}{7560} = \frac{25}{42}

Answer:

\frac{25}{42}

, i.e. option A.
