Question

If on May 1, 60% of the permanent workers and 40% of the temporary workers employed by M/s Mega Corp Limited were women, how many of the workers employed by M/s Mega Corp Limited at that time were women?

• A. 200
• B. 120
• C. 410
• D. 260
  % Correct answer

Hint:

Multiply the respective percentage with each category count, then sum them up to get total.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

From the bar chart:
On May 1,
Permanent workers = 600 ⇒ 60% women = \(0.6 \times 600 = 360\)
Temporary workers = 125 ⇒ 40% women = \(0.4 \times 125 = 50\)
Total women = \(360 + 50 = {410}\)
