Answer:
Correct Answer: E
Solution:
- Total number of employees = 35000
Then, number of males in organisation
A =18% of $ 35000\times 70% $
$ =\frac{35000\times 18}{100}\times \frac{70}{100}=4410 $
Similarly, $ B=\frac{35000\times 22}{100}\times \frac{45}{100}=3465 $
$ C=\frac{35000\times 31}{100}\times \frac{35}{100}=3797.5\approx 3798 $
$ D=\frac{35000\times 15}{100}\times \frac{55}{100}=2887.5\approx 2888 $
$ E=\frac{35000\times 14}{100}\times \frac{75}{100}=3675 $
Hence, total number of males
$ =4410+3465+3798+2888+3675 $
$ =18236 $
