At Tenderloin Pharmaceuticals, 25 percent of the employees take the subway to work. Among those who ride the subway, 42 percent transfer from one subway line to another during their commutes, and the rest do not transfer. What percent of all employees transfer lines?

A. 10.5
B. 21
C. 25
D. 40
E. 42
Let total no of workers be 100

Now, 25 or 1/4 of the employees take subwaway to work

Again 42%*1/4 transfer lines

Now, Calculate, 1/2 of 42 = 21 , again 1/2 of 21 = 10.50 { Actually 1/4 =1/2*2)

Hence, ANswer must be (A)

A. 10.5
B. 21
C. 25
D. 40
E. 42

Let, the number of employees=100
So, total number of employees that take subway= 100*25%=25
Also, total number of employees that change subway line=25*42%=10.5
Therefore, percentage of all employees that change subway line=10.5/100=10.5%

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
