Sixty percent of Company A’s employees are considered top performers. Fifty five percent of Company A’s employees are in a rigorous training program. Assuming these two statements are true are most of Company A’s employees in the rigorous training program considered top performers?

So, what we know is that 60% of the employers are top performance - this means that 40% are not.

Also, half of the employers (50%) are in the rigorous training program.

Consider this situation: all of the employers in the in the rigorous training program are top performers ( and some top performers are not) - this is a possible situation (then the statement would be correct)

On the other hand, another possible situation is that all of the non-top performers are in the rigorous training program - and some of the top performers are too. (then the statement would be incorrect)

This means that we actually don't have enough information to answer this question!
