Clearly, we need to bifurcate the employees into males and females to proceed. 
> The number of women who like at least 2 out of 3 preferences are 65
>  55 Women only like Italian
> Overall 25 employees like only Chinese out of which 40% are male. Thus 10 male and 15 female employees only like Chinese
> Number of Employees liking only Continental is the same as the number of women liking only Italian = 55. Thus 25 are female and 30 are male

Let the total number of females be F. Then the number of females who do not like any of the 3 options = 0.2F.
Total number of Female = Females who like none + Females who like exactly one+ Female who like atleast 2
F = 0.2F + 15+25+55+65 or 0.8F = 160. Thus F = 200. Females who like none of the option = 0.2F = 40
Thus  number of male employees who did not like any of the 3 option = 20 which is also equal to number of females liking all 3 options.

>175 of the employees like exactly one of the 3 options. Thus number of males liking only Italian = 175-(10+30+15+25+55) = 40
> Total number of male employees = 7 times the number of males liking only continental = 210
> Number of male employees like only Italian is same the number of male liking Chinese and Continental but not Italian = 40
We see only 40 men like Continental and Chinese.
For Women, 65 people like at least 2 options. Out of which 20 like all three. Therefore maximum possible of females liking only Continental and Chinese = 65-20=45
Maximum possible = 40+45 = 85

Analysis:
- In order to find the maximum number of employees who like Continental and Chinese foods but not Italian food, we need to analyze the given information carefully.

Given Information:
1. Number of male employees liking none of the options is the same as the number of female employees liking all of the three options.
2. 175 employees like exactly one of the 3 options.
3. The number of women who like at least 2 out of 3 preferences are 65.
4. Total number of male employees is 7 times the number of male employees who like only Continental.
5. 55 Women only like Italian.
6. Overall 25 employees like only Chinese out of which 40% are male.
7. Number of male employees liking only Italian is same the number of male liking Chinese and Continental but not Italian.
8. 20% of the female employees did not like any of the 3 options which is double the number of male employees who did not like any of the 3 options.
9. Number of Employees liking only Continental is the same as the number of women liking only Italian. Number of male employees liking only continental is 30.

Solution:
- Let's define the variables:
- Let C represent the number of employees who like only Continental.
- Let I represent the number of employees who like only Italian.
- Let Ch represent the number of employees who like only Chinese.
- Let CI represent the number of employees who like Continental and Italian.
- Let CC represent the number of employees who like Continental and Chinese.
- Let II represent the number of employees who like Italian and Chinese.
- From the given information, we can deduce the following equations:
- C + CI + CC = 25 (Employees who like only Continental)
- I + CI + II = 55 (Employees who like only Italian)
- Ch + CC + II = 25 (Employees who like only Chinese)
- Since the number of male employees liking only Continental is 30, we have:
- C = 30
- Given that the total number of male employees is 7 times the number of male employees who like only Continental, we have:
- C + CC + CI = 1/7 * Total Male Employees
- We can continue solving the above equations to find the maximum number of employees who like Continental and Chinese foods but not Italian food. By substituting the values of C and solving the equations, we find that the maximum number of such employees is 85. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
