After much consultation with the whole Burman family, it was decided to incorporate eight different cuisines in the wedding dinner for the employees of Dabur India Ltd. They were namely 1) Bengali cuisine, 2) Bangladeshi cuisine, 3) Awadhi cuisine, 4) Mughlai cuisine, 5) Kolhapuri cuisine, 6) South Indian cuisine, 7) Chinese cuisine and 8) Continental cuisine.

The number of employees of M/S Dabur India Ltd whose first preference is South Indian and second preference is Awadhi = 336

The number of employees whose first preference is South Indian and second preference is Chinese = 177

The number of employees whose first preference is Continental and second preference is Awadhi = 159

The number of employees whose first preference is Continental and second preference is Chinese = 87

Total = 759

The number of employees of M/S Dabur India Ltd whose first preference is Bangladeshi and second preference is Bengali = 2676

Hence required percentage = 759*100/2676 = 28.4%
