Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • Let number of men and women working in marketing department be 7x and 5x, respectively. From above, it is clear that $ 7x+5x=18% $ of 1800

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 12x=324 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=27 $

$ \therefore $ Number of men working in marketing department $ =7\times 27=189 $
