• A. 30
• B. 40
• C. 50
• D. 25

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

30

let's assume percentage of female employees=x
so, male employees=100-x
As per question,
$\frac{averagesalaryofmaleemployees\times percentageofmaleemployees+averagesalaryoffemaleemployees\times percentageoffemaleemployees}{100}=averagesalaryofemployees$
$9200\times (100-x)+8200x=8900\times 100$
$920000-9200x+8200x=890000$
$30000=1000x$
$x=30$
Answer (A) 30
