In an organisation, 50 percent employee are matriculates, 20 percent of remaining are graduates and now remaining 120 are post-graduates. What is the number of matriculates employee?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Given:
Matriculates = 50%
Remainder = 50%
Of this, 20% = Graduates
Remainder = 120 (Postgraduates)
Calculating the total number based on percentages:
20% of the remaining 50% are Graduates ⇒ 80% remain
80% of 50% = 40%
Therefore, 40% = 120
Total = 120 × 100 / 40 = 300
Matriculates = 50% of 300 = 150
