Question

A factory has 400 workers with men and women in a ratio of 5 : 3. 87.5% of all workers are regular. If 92% of the male employees are regular, what percentage of the female employees are regular?

1. A. 72%

3. C. 80% (Correct answer)
4. D. 81.55%

Correct Answer

Option C — 80%

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is 80%.

Key Points

• 400 workers, Men:Women=5:3 → Men=250, Women=150.
• Total regular = 87.5%×400=350.
• Regular men = 92%×250=230.
• Regular women = 350−230=120.
• Percentage = 120/150×100 = 80%.
