Question:

The given pie chart shows the percentage distribution of 450 employees in an organisation. Study the pie chart and answer the question that follows.

If 60% of the employees in department E are females, how many male employees are there in that department?

Options:

54

36

72

18

Correct Answer:

36

Explanation:

20% =  \(\frac{1}{5}\)  & 40% =  \(\frac{2}{5}\)

Total number of employees in E =  \(\frac{1}{5}\) × 450 = 90

Number of males in E are 60% .

So , Number of females =  \(\frac{2}{5}\) × 90 = 18
