Answer/Solution
100
Steps/Work
Full time employee who have NOT worked for at least one year = a
Full time employee who have worked for at least one year = b
NON Full time employee who have worked for at least one year = c
NON Full time employee who have NOT worked for at least one year = d
a+b+c+d = 150
a+b = 80
i.e. c+d = 70
b+c = 100
i.e. a+d = 50
d = 20
i.e. c = 70-20 = 50
i.e. b = 100-50 = 50
i.e. a = 80-50 = 30
b = 100
Answer: Option E
Full time employee who have worked for at least one year = b
NON Full time employee who have worked for at least one year = c
NON Full time employee who have NOT worked for at least one year = d
a+b+c+d = 150
a+b = 80
i.e. c+d = 70
b+c = 100
i.e. a+d = 50
d = 20
i.e. c = 70-20 = 50
i.e. b = 100-50 = 50
i.e. a = 80-50 = 30
b = 100
Answer: Option E
