Calculation:

Percentage of people in HR = [18°/360°] × 100

⇒ 5%

Percentage of females in HR = 5 × 75%

⇒ 3.75%

∴ The required answer is 3.75%

Additional InformationHere we do not need to calculate the values of all the people in HR

Alternate Method 
The percentage of people working in HR = (18°/360°) × 100 = 5%

The number of people working in HR = 2800 × 5/100 = 140

The number of females working in HR = 140 × 75/100 = 105

Percentage of females in HR = 105 × 100/2800 = 105 × 1/28 = 3.75

∴ The correct answer is 3.75%.
