    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    The total salary of males: the total salary of females = 6:5
    The salary of each male: salary of each female = 2:3

    To find the number of men and women, divide the total salary of males and females by salary of each male and female.
    i.e., 6/2: 5/3
    Or, 18: 10 = 9: 5
    So, the ratio of the number of males and females = 9:5
