S1: The Employee with the highest base salary has the lowest performance rating.
The bolded portion is an indication that we would need to calculate the base salary of every employee.
How to calculate this?
Let's take an example.
45k = 10/100 * BS
BS = (45/10) x 10^5.
Let's quickly calculate the base salaries.
All base salaries are calculated value x 10^5.
A: 45/10 = 4.5
B: 70/20 = 3.5
N: 40/10 = 4.0
S: 90/30 = 3.0
U: 65/20 = 3.25
Z: 35/10 = 3.5
S1: The Employee with the highest base salary has the lowest performance rating.
- Employee with the highest base salary -> A
- Does A have the lowest performance rating? No. N has lower (2 stars)
- Answer: No
S2: The employee with the lowest base salary has the highest bonus in rupees.
- Employee with the lowest base salary -> S
- Does S have the highest bonus? Yes (Rs. 90000 - highest)
- Answer: Yes
S3: The employee with the lowest bonus in rupees has the same base salary as one of the other employees.
- Employee with the lowest bonus -> Z
- What is Z's base salary? -> 3.5 x 10^5
- Does anyone else have the same base salary? Yes (B).
- Answer: Yes.
Overall: No; Yes; Yes.
