    D 70% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total number of people in the department = 100x   Given, females = 20% = (20x), males = 80% = (80x)   45% of males know English = 45% of 80x = 36x   Total number of employees who know English = 52% of 100x = 52x   Total females who know English = 52x - 36x = 16x   Percentage of females who know English = (16x/20x) × 100 = 80%
