In a company, 60% of the employees are men. Of these 40% are drawing more than ₹ 50000 per year. If 36% of the total employees of the company draw more than₹ 50000 per year, then what is the percentage of women who are drawing less than ₹ 50000 per year?

Correct Answer: 70%

Explanation:

Let total number of employee be 100.
∴ Number of men = 60% of 100 = 60
and number of women = 40% of 100 = 40
Number of men drawing more than ₹ 50000 = 40% of 60 = 24 men
Since, number of total employees drawing more than ₹ 50000 = 36% of 100 = 36
Number of women who more than ₹ 50000 = 36 - 24 = 12
Number of women who draw less than ₹ 50000 = 40 - 12 = 28
Percentage of women who draw less then ₹ 50000 per year = (28 x 100)/40 = 70%
