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
