400 are unemployed and 300 are somnambulists. So 200 are employed and 300 are Non-somnambulists.
Half of the somnambulists are unemployed = 150. So employed somnambulists = 300 -150 = 150.
Employed and not somnambulists = 200 - 150 = 50. Hence the answer is A.
Half of the somnambulists are unemployed = 150. So employed somnambulists = 300 -150 = 150.
Employed and not somnambulists = 200 - 150 = 50. Hence the answer is A.

Total = 600
unemployed=400
employed=600-400=200
som=300
unemployed som = 300/2=150
employed som = 150
employed that are not som = 200-150=50
unemployed=400
employed=600-400=200
som=300
unemployed som = 300/2=150
employed som = 150
employed that are not som = 200-150=50
