Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 33(1/3)%

105 female employees which are 70% of the total employees.

So the total number of employees = 105 × (10/7) = 150.

80% employee got a promotion so number of females who got promotion = 120 - 85 = 35.

So, the percentage of female employees who got the promotion

= (35/105) × 100 = 33(1/3) %
