... ?

There are numerous information's already given in the question. Based on those information's the answer can be easily deduced.

Ratio of men to women = 3 : 5

Total number of men = 51

Now

Men/Women = 3/5

51/women = 3/5

3 Women = 51 * 5

3 Women = 255

Women = 255/3

= 85

Then

Total number of employees = 51 + 85

= 136

From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the total number of employees in the company is 136. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
