What is the difference between the number of male employees in company P and that in company R?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 578.
Given that
The total number of employees in company P = 4560
The number of female employees in company P = 2210
So, the number of male employees in company P = 4560 - 2210 = 2350
Similarly,
The total number of employees in company R = 3052
The number of female employees in company R = 1280
So, the number of male employees in company R = 3052 - 1280 = 1772
Hence, the required difference = 2350 - 1772 = 578
