Why not A
a 121/123 - If the number of employees who earn Rs. 10,000 or more = 605 and the number of employees who earn less than Rs. 10,000 = 615
As you correctly pointed out A, you can multiply and divide 5 in all of the remaining options and make all of them correct, but here we are trying to find the
most probable answer, which is being reflected in C as on adding its numerator and denominator, we are getting a multiple of 5 (5n).
That's why, IMO the correct answer is
C
I agree to what you have said, but the question doesn't ask the 'most probable answer' but asks the a 'possible answer'.
wingsoffire - Can you post the source of the question please ?
Yes indeed, it asked for the possible answer. Here, we are the ones who have to choose the most probable option as we can justify every option as an answer (multiplying and dividing it by 5). But, there is only one option
(C) for which we don't have to actually do this operation (multiplying and dividing it by 5) to justify it as an answer.
Though i won't call it a very good question but in case such a question pops up in the exam, i will recommend this approach (unless someone comes with a better approach).
Hope you got my point.
