    Solution

    Calculate the number of male employees in each department and subtract from the total to find the female employees. Sales: Total = 120, Male = 60% of 120 = 72, Female = 120 - 72 = 48 Marketing: Total = 80, Male = 50% of 80 = 40, Female = 80 - 40 = 40 Finance: Total = 100, Male = 40% of 100 = 40, Female = 100 - 40 = 60 HR: Total = 60, Male = 30% of 60 = 18, Female = 60 - 18 = 42 IT: Total = 140, Male = 70% of 140 = 98, Female = 140 - 98 = 42 Total female employees = 48 + 40 + 60 + 42 + 42 = 232 Correct answer: d) 232
