Correct Answer: Employees who did not answer "agree" to both proposals= 9M/10 & employees who did not answer "disagree" to both proposals= M/10
Let's check each Proposal
1) Proposal 1
Total Proposal 1= 2/5 (This contains both Proposal 1 & 2 data.)
Both Proposal 1 & Proposal 2= 2/5 * 1/4= 1/10
Only Proposal 1= 2/5 - 1/10= 3/10
2) Proposal 2
Total Proposal 2= 1/10 + 2/3= 23/30 (This contains both Proposal 1 & 2 data.)
Both Proposal 1 & Proposal 2= 1/10
Only Proposal 2= 2/3
Now let's see what we need to find,
1) Expression that represents the number of employees who did not answer "agree" to both proposals.
Here we need to find employees who are not agree with both proposals.
We will deduct employees from both Proposal 1 & Proposal 2 to get employees who are not agree with both proposals.
So,
1-1/10= 9/10
Here assume employees= M, so correct answer is 9M/10.
2) Expression that represents the number of employees who did not answer "disagree" to both proposals.
Here we need to find employees who are agree with both proposals.
As we find out employees who agreed both Proposal 1 & Proposal 2 are 1/10, so correct answer is M/10.

Both Proposal 1 & Proposal 2= 1/10
Only Proposal 2= 2/3

In a company survey, M employees evaluated both Proposal 1 and Proposal 2, selecting either 'agree' or 'disagree' for each.
Total = Agree with 1 * Agree with 2 + Agree with 1 * disgree with 2 + Agree with 2 * disgree with 1 + Disgree with 1 * Disagree with 2
m = m * 1/10 + 3 * 3/10 + m * 2/5 + m * 1/5
Select for Column A the expression that represents the number of employees who did not answer "agree" to both proposals,
m - m * 1/10 = m * 9/10;
and select for Column B the expression that represents the number of employees who did not answer "disagree" to both proposals.
m - m * 1/5 = m * 4/5;
- 2/5 of them agreed with Proposal 1, and of those, 1/4 also agreed with Proposal 2.
m * 2/5 agree with Proposal 1, and m * 2/5 * 1/4 = m * 1/10 agree with Proposal 2 & 1, And m * 2/5 * 3/4 = m * 3/10 Disagree with proposal 2 & agree with 1.m * 3/5 disagree with Proposal 1. - Of those who disagreed with Proposal 1, 2/3 agreed with Proposal 2.
m * 3/5 * 2/3 = m * 2/5 agreed with Proposal 2 & Disagree with Proposal 1, and m * 3/5 * 1/3 = m * 1/5 Disgree with 1 & Disagree with 2
Total = Agree with 1 * Agree with 2 + Agree with 1 * disgree with 2 + Agree with 2 * disgree with 1 + Disgree with 1 * Disagree with 2
m = m * 1/10 + 3 * 3/10 + m * 2/5 + m * 1/5
Select for Column A the expression that represents the number of employees who did not answer "agree" to both proposals,
m - m * 1/10 = m * 9/10;
and select for Column B the expression that represents the number of employees who did not answer "disagree" to both proposals.
m - m * 1/5 = m * 4/5;

Given:
Total employees = M
Agree Proposal 1 = 2/5 * M = (2M)/5
Agree both Proposals = 1/4 of those who agree P1 = (1/4) * (2M/5) = (2M)/(20) = M/10
Disagree Proposal 1 = 1 - 2/5 = 3/5 * M = (3M)/5
Agree Proposal 2 but disagree Proposal 1 = 2/3 * (3M/5) = 2M/5
Number of employees who agreed both proposals = M/10
Disagree both proposals = (Disagree P1) and (Disagree P2)
Calculate disagree both:
Disagree P1 = 3M/5
Agree P2 in disagree P1 = 2M/5 → so Disagree P2 in disagree P1 = Disagree P1 - Agree P2 in disagree P1 = (3M/5) - (2M/5) = M/5
So, disagree both = M/5
Number of employees who did NOT agree both proposals:
= Total - Agree both
= M - M/10 = 9M/10
Number of employees who did NOT disagree both proposals:
= Total - Disagree both
= M - M/5 = 4M/5
Total employees = M
Agree Proposal 1 = 2/5 * M = (2M)/5
Agree both Proposals = 1/4 of those who agree P1 = (1/4) * (2M/5) = (2M)/(20) = M/10
Disagree Proposal 1 = 1 - 2/5 = 3/5 * M = (3M)/5
Agree Proposal 2 but disagree Proposal 1 = 2/3 * (3M/5) = 2M/5
Number of employees who agreed both proposals = M/10
Disagree both proposals = (Disagree P1) and (Disagree P2)
Calculate disagree both:
Disagree P1 = 3M/5
Agree P2 in disagree P1 = 2M/5 → so Disagree P2 in disagree P1 = Disagree P1 - Agree P2 in disagree P1 = (3M/5) - (2M/5) = M/5
So, disagree both = M/5
Number of employees who did NOT agree both proposals:
= Total - Agree both
= M - M/10 = 9M/10
Number of employees who did NOT disagree both proposals:
= Total - Disagree both
= M - M/5 = 4M/5
