The following table shows the percentage distribution of the total number of employees, males and graduates of a company among six different departments A to F. The total number of employees of the company is 8000, in which the ratio of male to female is 3 to 5 and the ratio of graduate to post-graduate is 3 to 2. The department-wise distribution, given as employees percent, males percent and graduates percent, is A 20 and 25 and 16, B 12 and 18 and 17, C 10 and 15 and 13, D 22 and 20 and 10, E 15 and 10 and 20, and F 21 and 12 and 24. Based on the data in the table, answer the questions that follow.
What is the number of employees working in department F who are post-graduate?
A524
B526
C528 ✓ Correct
D530
Correct answer: (C) 528 — The number of post-graduate employees in department F is 528, so the answer is 528.
Explanation
★The number of post-graduate employees in department F is 528, so the answer is 528.
★The company has 8000 employees in all.
★Department F holds 21 percent of them, which is 1680 employees.
★The graduates in the company are three-fifths of 8000, which is 4800.
★Department F holds 24 percent of these graduates, which is 1152.
★So the post-graduates in F are 1680 minus 1152.
★That equals 528, so the answer is 528.
