In a company, there are 200 employees. 40% of them are in marketing, 30% in IT and the rest are in the production department. In the IT department 40% are female and in the production department 30% are female. 20% of males from the IT department work part time, 70% of males from the marketing department work full time and 5% of males from the production department work part time.
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Defective question. Finding the number of female employees needs the count of FEMALE employees in marketing, which the data never gives — the keyed answer (B) 42 only follows if you assume every marketing employee is male, an assumption the question doesn't state. Without that figure the total can't be determined, so the item should be treated as defective.
