Passage
The following table shows the department-wise breakup of employees in an organization across five departments: Accounts, Production, IT, HR and Marketing. It gives the percentage distribution of the number of employees, the number of male employees, and the number of recently promoted employees. The totals are 1800 employees, 1020 male employees and 600 recently promoted employees. The distribution given as employees percent, males percent and promoted percent is Accounts 20 and 5 and 6, Production 35 and 50 and 35, IT 15 and 20 and 26, HR 12 and 10 and 11, and Marketing 18 and 15 and 22. Based on the data in the table, answer the questions that follow.

A309 ✓ Correct
B296
C283
D312
Correct answer: (A) 309 — The number of female employees is 309, so the answer is 309.
Explanation
★The number of female employees is 309, so the answer is 309.
★The Accounts department has 20 percent of 1800 employees, which is 360.
★The male employees in Accounts are 5 percent of 1020, which is 51.
★So the females are the total minus the males.
★That is 360 minus 51.
★That equals 309.
★So the answer is 309.
