What is the total number of employees who prefer travelling by Metro from companies A, B and C?
A3908 ✓ Correct
B3710
C3308
D4028
Correct answer: (A) 3908
Explanation
The total is 3908, so the answer is 3908.
The totals for A, B and C are 2300, 1560 and 2560 respectively.
Metro users in A are 68% of 2300, which is 1564.
Metro users in B are 60% of 1560, which is 936.
Metro users in C are 55% of 2560, which is 1408.
Adding these gives 1564 plus 936 plus 1408, which is 3908.
Each Metro count uses that company's own total, not a shared figure.
