In an office that employees 120 people, m% of the employees are male, and c% of the employees are members of the custodial staff. How many employees are females who are not members of the custodial staff?
1) m + c = 50
2) The number of female employees who are members of the custodial staff is four
Shouldn't the answer be "A"? since both m and c percentages of the employees ...
Thanks ...

so A cant be the answer
Let
m1 - male not custodial %
m2- male custodial %
f1-female not custodial %
f2-female custodial %
m1 + m2 + f1 + f2=100----1
m=m1 + m2
c=m2 + f2
from the first statement
m1 + m2 + m2+ f2=50---2
Subtracting the two equations we get f1-m2=50
we cannot find f1 with the given info.
from the second statement
f2=4/120=3.33
We cannot find the f1 with the given info
Combining both info
We still cannot find f1 with the both statements.
Answer E
m1 - male not custodial %
m2- male custodial %
f1-female not custodial %
f2-female custodial %
m1 + m2 + f1 + f2=100----1
m=m1 + m2
c=m2 + f2
from the first statement
m1 + m2 + m2+ f2=50---2
