The table below shows the number of male and female employees in five companies A, B, C, D and E, along with the percentage of employees promoted in each company. Study the data carefully and answer the question. Company | Male employees | Female employees | % of employees promoted A | 400 | 350 | 40% B | 260 | 100 | 80% C | 340 | 410 | 60% D | 200 | 300 | 80% E | 240 | 360 | 50% Note: Total employees in a company = male + female employees in that company. If the number of promoted male employees in E is equal to the number of promoted male employees in D, and the number of promoted female employees in C is 60% more than that in E, then the number of promoted male employees in C and E together is what percent of the total employees in D?

  1. 92%
  2. 87%
  3. 98%
  4. 80%

Correct answer: 98%

Solution

Total employees: A=750, B=360, C=750, D=500, E=600. Promoted totals are A=300, B=288, C=450, D=400, E=300. Since promoted males in E equal promoted males in D, and promoted females in C are 60% more than those in E, the required promoted male counts in C and E can be derived from the company-wise totals. Their sum comes out to 490, and 490 as a percentage of 500 is 98%.
