Correct Answer: 500
Solution : Given: Total employees = 900 Let the total male and female employees be 10$M$ and 10$F$. According to the question, 10$M$ + 9$F$ = 9.2$M$ + 10$F$ ⇒ 0.8$M$ = 1$F$ ⇒ $\frac{M}{F} = \frac{5}{4}$ ⇒ Ratio of male and female = 5 : 4 So, Total number of male employees = 900 × $\frac{5}{9}$ = 500 Hence, the correct answer is 500.
