Two third of the number of employees of a company are males and the rest are females. If 3/8 of the male employees and 2/5 of the female employees are temporary employees and the total number of permanent employees is 740, then 7/15 of the total number of employees exceeds the number of temporary female employees by ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 ie 400.
Male : Female
80 or 2 : 40 or 1 [assuming the number to be 80 and 40]
Temporary 30 : 16
Permanent = 50 + 24 = 74 × x = 740
x = 10 (multiplying factor)
= (7/15) × 120 × x
= (7/15) × 1200 = 560
= 560 - (16 × x) = 560 - 160 = 400
