• B. 270
• C. 240
• D. 210

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 180

Let the total number of employees in the organization = 100x number of employees who are matriculates = 40% of 100x = 40x Remaining employees = 60x 50% of these employees are graduates ie, 50% of 60x =30x Remaining employees = 60x-30x=30x remaining 30x employees are post-graduates= 180 ⇒ 30x = 180 ⇒ x = 180/30 ⇒ x = 6 number of employees who are graduates = 30x = 30 × 6 = 180
