What was the total number of accountants working in the organisation in the year 2019?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 27
Calculations:
From year 2015 to 2019
Number of accountants who joined and left = 35 - 0 + 26 - 16 + 15 - 5 + 20 - 38 + 14 - 24 = 27
Hence, total number of accountants working in the organisation in the year 2019 = 27
