Reasoning: 1 to 9 = 9 * 9 = 81
1 to 5 = 5 * 10 = 50
5 to 9 = 5 * 8 = 40
5th = 50 + 40 = 90 81 = 9
Ans: (A)

Reasoning: S = 600/30 = 20 mps
S = 3600/20 = 180 sec = 4 min
Ans: (D)

Reasoning: Total = n(A) + n(B) - Both + None
None = Total - n(A) - n(B) + Both
Calculate "none" for each case
None(5+ yrs Line) = 200 - 50 - 40 + 30 = 140
None(5+ yrs Staff) = 160 - 40 - 50 + 20 = 90
Employees not taking either workshop/Total number of employees = (140 + 90)/(200 + 160) = 230/360 = About 64%
Ans: (B)
Question: Approximately what percent of the employees with 5 or more years of employment are NOT taking either workshop?
Options:
