Answer 1

Create Data Transfer Objects (DTOs) eg.

 public class yourclassname
    {
        public string yourfiledname { get; set; }
        public int count { get; set; }
    }

then you

public IActionResult gettop10staffcount()
    {
        var query = "your query";
        var result = Context.yourclassname.FromSql(query).ToList();
        return new ObjectResult(result);
    }
