5) 50
6) 75
7) 33.33
8) 66.66

10) None of these

Solution

Let number of Executives and non-executives be x and y respectively.
Then, average salary of all the employees = (42000x + 30000y) / (x+y) = 33000
9000x = 3000y
x/y = 1/3
⇒ Non-executives are 3/4 of the total employees and their % = (3/4)*100 = 75%
