    C 35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Number of men in the Factory = 8750 × 0.44 = 3850 Number of women in the Factory = 8750 – 3850 = 4900 Number of men who worked as a Manager = 3850 × 0.6 = 2310 Number of women who worked as the manager = 4900 × 0.45 = 2205 Number of men working as a manager = 2310 – 160 = 2150 Number of women working as the manager = 2205 – 155 = 2050 So, total number of workers in the factory working as a manager = 2150 + 2050 = 4200 Therefore, required percentage = (4200/8750) × 100 = 48%
