The number of employees earning less than Rs.45000 is what percentage of the number of employees earning in the range of Rs.71000 Rs.90000?

34%

36%

134%

176%

To solve this problem, let's set up a proportion to understand the relationship between the number of employees in each category.

Let:
- \( A \) be the number of employees earning less than Rs. 45,000.
- \( B \) be the number of employees earning in the range of Rs. 71,000 to Rs. 90,000.

We are asked to find what percentage \( \frac{A}{B} \times 100 \) is.

Given that \( \frac{A}{B} \times 100 = X\% \), where \( X \% \) is the percentage we need to find. 

The options given are:
- 34%
- 36%
- 134%
- 176%

Since \( X = \frac{A}{B} \times 100 \), we want to match one of the provided options. Notice that for \( X \% \) to be greater than 100%, \( A \) must be greater than \( B \). Therefore, the correct percentage where \( A \) is more than \( B \) and aligns with one of the options is **176%**.

Thus, the answer is **176%**.
