A360
B240
C300
D180 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 180
Explanation
180 employees are graduates.
Let total be T; matriculates = 40% of T, remaining = 60% of T.
Graduates = 50% of the remaining = 30% of T.
Postgraduates = 60% - 30% = 30% of T = 180, so T = 600.
Graduates = 30% of 600 = 180.
So 180 employees are graduates.
