35. As per a company policy only \( 25 \% \) of the female employees and \( 20 \% \) of the mate employees can hold the positions higher than level 2 . If the ratio of female and male employees in the company is \( 3: 2 \), then find the percentage of employees which are working below level 2 .

Let's break this down step by step! Assume there are 5 total employees (3 females + 2 males). Given the ratio, if we let the total number of employees be 5 (the smallest number that maintains the ratio of 3:2), we have: - Female employees: 3 - Male employees: 2 From the company policy, 25% of female employees can hold positions above level 2: - 25% of 3 = 0.75 → This means only 1 female employee can be above level 2. For male employees, only 20% can hold positions above level 2: - 20% of 2 = 0.4 → This means only 0.4 male employees can be above level 2. Adding these gives us the total number of employees above level 2: - 1 (female) + 0.4 (male) = 1.4 employees above level 2. Now, we can calculate the number of employees below level 2: - Total employees = 5 - Employees above level 2 = 1.4 So, employees below level 2 = 5 - 1.4 = 3.6 employees. To find the percentage of employees working below level 2: (3.6 / 5) * 100 = 72% Therefore, the percentage of employees working below level 2 is **72%**.
