Then the total number of employees who had undergone the training is? Correct Answer 30

Let the number of employees in the organization be x.

25% employees attended seminar = 25% of x = 0.25x

15% employees undergone training = 15% of x = 0.15x

5% employees attended seminar and undergone training = 5% of x = 0.05x

Those who neither attended seminar nor had undergone training = 130

Number of employees who only attended seminar = 0.25x – 0.05x = 0.20x

Number of employees who had only undergone training = 0.15x – 0.05x = 0.10x

Total number of employees involved in at least one of the activities = 0.20x + 0.10x + 0.05x = 0.35x

Number of employees not involved in any activity = x – 0.35x = 0.65x

According to given information,

0.65x = 130

x = 130 ÷ 0.65

x = 200

Number of employees who had undergone training = 0.15x = 0.15 × 200 = 30

Hence, 30 is the correct answer.
