2. 2160
3. 1296
4. 864

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 864

Given:

Total number of employees in a company is 4800.

Out of the total employees 45% are male.

In males, 60% of the males are either 25 year or more in age.

Calculation:

Total number of employees in a company is 4800.

Out of the total employees 45% are male.

Then, the number of males = 45/100 × 4800 = 2160

The number of males are either 25 years or more in age = 2160 × 60/100 = 1296

Then, the number of males are less than 25 years = 2160 - 1296 = 864

∴ The number of males are less than 25 years is 864.
