30% of the employees of a call center are males. Ten percent of the female employees have an engineering background. What is the percentage of male employees with engineering background?
Statement A: 25% of employees have engineering background.
Statement B: The number of male employees having an engineering background is 20% more than the number of female employees having an engineering background.
The correct option is D: If Both statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but neither statement ALONE is sufficient.
Let the number of employees be 100.
30% are males, then, the number of males =30
10% female have engineering (engg.) background, then the number of females having engineering background =10
Statement A: 25% of employees have engineering background means the number of people having engineering background =25
So, the number of males having engineering background =25−10=15
Statement B: Number of male employees having an engineering background is 20% more than the number of female employees having an engineering background.
Percentage of male engineering background employees
=Number of male engg. employeesTotal engg. background employees=1525×100%=15×4=60%
Percertage of female background employees
=Number of female engg. employeesTotal engg. background employees=1025×100%=10×4=40%
so, male percentage in engg. background is 20% more than the percentage of female engg. background employees.
Hence, option D is correct, i.e. If Both statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but neither statement ALONE is sufficient.
