(A) 2/11
(B) 1/4
(C) 1/3
(D) 3/4

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of employees be p.

Number of men earning more than 25,000,

=0.4×0.75×p

Number of women earning more than 25,000,

=0.45p−(0.4×0.75×p)

Number of women employed by company =0.6p

Number of women earning Rs.25,000 per year or less,

=0.6p−(0.45p−0.4×0.75×p)=0.45p

Fraction of women earning Rs.25,000 or less,

=0.45p/0.6p=3/4
