Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Let total number of employees = 100
So, 40% of total employees are male.
i.e. 40% of 100 = 40
$ \therefore $ Female employees $ =100-40=60 $
Mate employees getting 25000 plus
$ =\frac{75}{100}\times 40=30 $
Female employees getting 25000 plus
$ =45-30=15 $
So, female employees getting less than 25000
$ =60-15=45 $
$ \therefore $ Required fraction = 45/60 = 3/4
