Answer
60

The correct answer is 60 — Workers in dyeing = total – weaving = 80 – 20 = 60.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Total workers = 80.
  2. Workers in weaving = 25% of 80 = 0.25 × 80 = 20.
  3. Workers in dyeing = total – weaving = 80 – 20 = 60.
Common mistake: Using 75% directly instead of subtracting from total

Concept tested: Employment distribution
