In an office, 40% of the staff is female. 40% of the female and 60% of the male voted for me. The percentage of vote I got was

A) 24%
B) 42%
C) 50%
D) 52%

Correct Answer:




D) 52%

Description for Correct answer:

Let total number of staff be 100.

Female staff = 40

Male staff: (100 - 40) = 60

Votes cast by females = \( \Large \frac{40}{100} \times 40 \) = 16

Votes cast by males = \( \Large \frac{60}{100} \times 60 \) = 36

Votes cast by both (males + females) = 16 + 36 = 52

Therefore, Percentage votes obtained = 52%
