Welcome, just post the question and the choices   Let's see, the way I did it was   1/4 are clerical out of 3600 so 900 are clerical   900 reduced by 1/3 is 900*1/3   so it reduced 300 people , so there is 600 clerical people left   but since 600 people left, it also reduced from the total of 3600 so there are 3000 people total   since 600 clerical left / 300 people total   you get (A) 20%   Answer : 20%
