1. 20
2. 25
3. 30
4. 28

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 25

Given:

60% of employees are female

40% of employees are male

45% of employee earn more than 50000

Formula used:

Percentage = (Obtained value/Maximum value) × 100

Calculation:

Let the total employee of the company be 100

Number of Female in the company = 100 × (60/100) = 60

Number of Male in the company = 100 × (40/100) = 40

The total employees are earning more than 50000 = (45/100) × 100 = 45

25% of total female earning more than 50000 = 60 × (25/100)

Total Female who earn more than 50000 = 15

Total male who earn more than 50000 is = 45 - 15 = 30

Men who earn equal or less than 50000 is = 40 - 30

= 10

Required percentage = (10/40) × 100 = 25%

∴ The required result will be 25%.
