(A) 76%
(B) 60%
(C) 50%
(D) 40%
(E) 24%
Set S has A odd integers and B Even Integers.
Even multiples of 3 are all divisible by 6.
Hence exactly 36% of (A+B) are multiples of 6.
40% of B are not multiples of 6.
Hence 60% of B are multiples of 6.
Therefore 0.36A+0.36B = 0.6B
0.36A = 0.24B
3A = 2B
A = 2B/3
We need percentage of non even integers. Which means we need percentage of A in A+B
2B/3 / (5B/3) * 100
= 40%
Pick D.
