A656
B596 ✓ Correct
C544
D484
Correct answer: (B) 596 — The answer is 596.
Explanation
★The answer is 596.
★The peons recruited up to 2020 are 410 plus 92 plus 76 plus 98 plus 112, which is 788.
★The peons who left up to 2020 are 48 plus 44 plus 40 plus 60, which is 192.
★So the number working is 788 minus 192.
★That is 596.
★The other options do not match this value.
★So the answer is 596.
