Correct answer: (B) Three
Explanation

Exactly three cities exceed 415, so the answer is three.

Delhi, Mumbai and Gurgaon together have 2360 employees, leaving 1900 for Bengaluru and Hyderabad.

With Bengaluru 10% less than Hyderabad, Hyderabad has 1000 and Bengaluru has 900.

Finance plus Accounts is 46% for Delhi giving 414, and 55% for Mumbai giving 418.

It is 52% for Bengaluru giving 468, 42% for Gurgaon giving 294, and 60% for Hyderabad giving 600.

So the totals above 415 occur in Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.

That makes exactly three cities.
