The given pie chart shows the breakup of total no. of employees of a company working in different offices (A, B, C, D and E)

Total no. of employees = 2400

If 40% of number of employees in office A are shifted equally to office B and E, then what is the difference between the number of employees in B and that in C ? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 ie 72.

20% of A (35%)

= 7%

Difference between B and C = 15% - 5%

= 10%

After employee transfer

C - B = 10 - 7

= 3%

(3/100) × 2400 = 72
