Question

The promotee clerk I is approximately what per cent of that of direct recruit clerk I ?

• A. 10
• B. 9
• C. 11
• D. 10.5
• E. 9.75

Answer 1

The correct option is C 11

Number of clerk I = 19% of 7000
$=\frac{19}{100}\times 7000=1330$
Number of direct recruits = 90% of 1330
$=\frac{90\times 1330}{100}=1197$
Hence, number of promotees = 1330-1197=133
Hence, required percentage $=\frac{133}{1197}\times 100=\frac{13300}{1200}=11\%$
