Of the 3600 employees of ABC Ltd, 1/3 are clerical. If clerical staff were to be reduced by 1/3 what percent of the total number of the remaining employees would then be clerical?

A 22.5%

B 20.5%

C 25.2%

D 25%

Correct Answer: Option D

Of the 3600 employees of ABC Ltd, 1/3 are clerical.

Clerical Employees = 3600/3 = 1200

If clerical staff were to be reduced by 1/3, Reduction =1200X1/3 = 400

New Clerical Employees = 800

New total employees = (3600-400) = 3200

% = 800/3200 X100% =25%
