Data
The table gives a department-wise breakup. Column totals are: total employees = 1800, male employees = 1020, recently promoted employees = 600. Each cell is that department's percentage share of the column total.
| Department | Employees (of 1800) | Male employees (of 1020) | Recently promoted (of 600) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accounts | 20% | 5% | 6% |
| Productions | 35% | 50% | 35% |
| IT | 15% | 20% | 26% |
| HR | 12% | 10% | 11% |
| Marketing | 18% | 15% | 22% |
If half of the employees promoted from the IT department were males, then the approximate percentage of males who got promoted from the IT department was?
A61%
B29%
C54%
D38% ✓ Correct
Answer: D
Explanation
★IT promotions are 26% of 600 = 156, half of which is 78 men; IT male staff are 20% of 1020 = 204; 78 over 204 times 100 is about 38%. Hence option D.
