    C 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    According to the question, Total number of male employees = x% of Total Employees Number of unskilled male employees = 20% Total Employees Number of unskilled male employees = (x – 20)% of Total Employees Total number of female employees = (100 – x)% of Total Employees Number of female employees that are skilled = 20% of Total Employees So, Number of unskilled female employees = (80 – x)% of Total Employees Total number of unskilled employees = Unskilled Male + Unskilled Female = 40% of Total Employees (80 – x)% of Total Employees = 40% of Total Employees – 20% of Total Employees So, x = 60 Hence, option c) is the correct answer.
