How many of the total staff in Professional and Managerial grades are men?
A1210
B1180 ✓ Correct
C1160
D1140
Correct answer: (B) 1180
Explanation
Professional men are 450; the two grades total 1300; managerial women are 25+1+4 = 30, so managerial total is 1300 minus 540 = 760 and managerial men are 760 minus 30 = 730; total men are 450 plus 730 = 1180. Hence option B.
