• A. 6770
• B. 7700
• C. 6700
• D. 7770
• E. 7670

Answer 1

The correct option is C 6700

Number of employees in teaching profession $=26800\times \frac{15}{100}=4020$
Number of employees in medical profession $=26800\times \frac{27}{100}=7236$
Total number of employees
$=4020+7336=11256$
Number of employees in management profession $=26800\times \frac{17}{100}=4556$
$\therefore$ Required difference = 11256 - 4556
= 6700
