Correct answer: (B) 306
Explanation
The IT department in Delhi has 306 employees, so the answer is 306.
Delhi has 900 employees, with Accounts at 28% and HR to be found.
Accounts is 40% more than HR, so HR times 1.4 equals 28%, giving HR equal to 20%.
Since the four departments add to 100%, IT is 100 minus 20 plus 18 plus 28, which is 34%.
So IT employees are 34% of 900.
That is 900 times 0.34.
This equals 306.
