Correct Answer: $12\%$
Solution : Let the number of officers = $x$ and non-officers = $y$ Total salary of officers = Rs. $15000x$ Total salary of non-officers = Rs. $8000y$ According to the question, $15000x + 8000y = 8840(x+y)$ ⇒ $15000x - 8840x=8840y- 8000y$ ⇒ $6160x =840y$ ⇒ $x:y=3:22$ So, the percentage of the officers among the employees $=\frac{x}{x+y}\times 100=\frac{3}{3+22}\times 100 =\frac{3}{25}\times 100= 12\%$ Hence, the correct answer is $12\%$.
