    B 654 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 628 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 678 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sales: 25% of 1200 = 300 employees. Male employees = (3/5) × 300 = 180. Marketing: 20% of 1200 = 240 employees. Male employees = (4/5) × 240 = 192. HR: 15% of 1200 = 180 employees. Male employees = (1/5) × 180 = 36. Finance: 25% of 1200 = 300 employees. Male employees = (2/5) × 300 = 120. IT: 15% of 1200 = 180 employees. Male employees = (5/6) × 180 = 150. Total male employees = 180 + 192 + 36 + 120 + 150 = 678.
