Forty per cent of the employees of a certain company are men, and 75% of the men earn more than Rs. 25,000 per year. If 45% of the company’s employees earn more than Rs. 25,000 per year, what fraction of the women employed by the company earn less than or equal to Rs. 25,000 per year?
Explanation:
Men Women 40% 60%
Out of 40% men, 75% earn more than Rs. 25,000.
Hence, 30% of the company (men) earn more than Rs. 25,000.
But, in all 45% of the employees earn more than Rs. 25,000.
Hence, among women 15% earn more than Rs. 25,000 and the remaining (60 – 15)% earn less than or equal to Rs. 25,000.
Therefore, the fraction of women = 4560=34
Hence, option (d).
