Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Department B in 2018 = 23% of 18000 = 4140 employees.
Department B in 2019 = 26% of 20000 = 5200 employees.
Of the 4140 employees at the end of 2018, 300 left, so 4140 − 300 = 3840 employees continued into 2019.
New employees who joined Department B in 2019 = 5200 − 3840 = 1360.
