Company Y employs c women and d men. Do the women at Company Y earn an average (arithmetic mean) annual salary greater than $25,000?
(1) Company Y pays its employees a total of $30,000(c + d) in salaries annually.
(2) The men at Company Y earn an average (arithmetic mean) annual salary of $34,000.
Explanation:
Stmt 1: Since the annual salary is 30,000(c+d); the avg sal. per employee would be 30,000(c+d)/(c+d) = 30,000
Therefore avg. sal of women is greater than 25000; Sufficient
Stmt 2: Avg. salary of men is 34,000; since nuthng is given about total salaries of all the employess and no.of women & men employees cannot deduce avg sal of women. InSufficient
Therefore IMO ABut official answer is given as E.
