Question

In a public sector unit (PSU), there 45600 employees. When the PSU offered a volunteer retirement scheme (VRS), 40% of the employees applied for the VRS. After scrutinizing, the PSU rejected 15% of the applications. But only 9120 employees took the retirement through scheme. What percentage of the total number
employees did not take retirement even though the applications are not rejected?
(A) 25% (B) 14% (C) 24% (D) 12.75​

Answer 1

Answer:

(A) 25% is the correct one

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, the percentage of employees who took retirement through the scheme

= 100x(9120/45600)= 20%.

Now by taking 100 as the base, we can calculate the answer easily. Out of 100 employees, 40 applied for VRS. But PSU allowed only 85% of 40 i.e. 34 employees to take VRS.

∴34% – 20% = 14%
