Let the sample be 100.

Given 60% are not first year i.e. there could be second year (x) and more than 2 years(y) possibility.

60% = (x) + y

Given 30% = second year (x)

club both , we get y = 30%.

IMO option C is correct answer..

60 percent are not first-year associates --> This means 60 percent associates are either two or more than two years

Already, we know % of second-year associates = 30 %

So, % of associates there for more than two years = 60 % - 30 % = 30 % .. => (C).. Is it correct ?

Since 60% are not first year, they are 2nd year or longer. Since 30% are 2nd year, then 60% - 30% = 30% have been there for longer than 2 years.
