1.  In an office, 40 % of the staff is female. 40% of the female and 60% of the male voted for me. The percentage of votes I got was:
A. 24%
B. 42%
C. 50%
D. 52%

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let the total number of staff be 100.

Female staff = 40

Male staff = (100 - 40) = 60


Votes cast by females = (40/100) x 40 = 16

Votes cast by males = (60/100) x 60 = 36

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

 Percentage votes obtained = 52%
