In an office, 5/8 of the total number of employees are males and the rest are females, 2/5 of the males are non-technical workers while 2/3 of the numbers of females are technical workers. What fraction of the total no. of the employees are technical workers ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 5/8.
Let the total no. employees be 8
Let the total no. of male employees = 8 × 8/5 = 5
Let the total no. of female employees = 8 - 5 = 3
No of technical workers = 5 × 2/5 = 2
Technical male workers = 5 - 2=3
Technical female workers = 3 × 2/3 = 2
Total no. of technical workers = 3 + 2 = 5
Fraction of the total no of technical worker = (Total number of workers)/(Total number of employees) = 5/8
