Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 4200.

According to the given pie-chart,

Total employees in department D = 30% of 20,000

⇒ 30100×20,000{30 \over 100} \times 20,000 = 6000

Number of females in the department = 30% of 6000

 ⇒ 30100×6000{30 \over 100} \times 6000 = 1800

Number of males in the department = 6000 - 1800 = 4200

Hence the number of male employees in department D is 4200.
