In the quiet town of "Nothintodo" there are 600 inhabitants, 400 are unemployed and 300 are somnambulists. If half of the somnambulists are unemployed, how many are employed and are not somnambulists?

A. 50.
B. 100.
C. 150.
D. 200.
E. 300.

Since 400 of the 600 inhabitants are unemployed, 200 are employed.

Since 300 are somnambulists, 300 are not somnambulists.

We also know that 150 of the somnambulists are unemployed so 150 must be employed.

Thus, 200 - 150 = 50 are not somnambulists and employed.

Answer: A
