In an organization, 40% of the employees are matriculates. 50% of the remaining are graduates and the remaining 180 are post-graduates. How many employees are graduates?

a) 360 b) 240 c) 300 d) 180

• 180
  Take x total people
  2x/5 are matri
  3x/10 are gradi
  so remaiin 3x/10=180
  so x=600,hence 3/10*600=180

• Read the question carefully. Whatever be the percentage of matriculates, the second half of the question says clearly that one half of the remaining are graduates and another half are post graduates. This means the number of graduates should be equal to the number of post graduates.
  Hence, 180 is the answer.
