Let X be the number of employees.
We are given that 40% of the employees are workers.
Now, 40% of X is × X = 0.4X
Hence, the number of workers is
All the remaining employees are executives,
so the number of executives equals,
(The number of Employees) (The number of Workers)

=
The annual income of each worker is Rs. 390.
Hence, the total annual income of all workers together is
= × 390 = 156X
Also, the annual income of each executive is Rs.420.
Hence, the total income {of all the executives together is,
