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.
