Males in A = 60% of 1500 = 900 and Females = 600. Ratio of males to females in B = 4:3 which means that males in B = 1200 and females in B = 900.
For Females in A, 30% work in Q i.e. 180, 20% of the remaining in R i.e. 84 and the remaining in P i.e. 336.
For males in A, 40% work in P i.e. 360, 2/9th of the remaining in Q i.e. 120 and the remaining in R i.e. 420.
For males in B, one third work in R i.e. 400, 1.25*400 i.e. 500 work in P and the remaining work in Q i.e. 300.
For females in B, 60% work in P i.e. 540, 135 work in R and 225 work in Q.
The required percentage = $$\frac{360-225}{225}\times\ 100\ =\ 60\%$.
