Correct Answer: Mathematics


Solution : Hindi: Number of male teachers = 50 – $\frac{(50 × 80)}{ 100}$ = 10
English: Number of male teachers = 40 – $\frac{(40 × 90)}{ 100}$ = 4
Mathematics: Number of male teachers = 60 – $\frac{(60 × 35)}{ 100}$ = 39
Science: Number of male teachers = 55 – $\frac{(55 × 40)}{ 100}$ = 33
Commerce: Number of male teachers = 30 – $\frac{(30 × 50)}{ 100}$ = 15
Social Science: Number of male teachers = 40 – $\frac{(40 × 75)}{ 100}$ = 10
$\therefore$ Mathematics has the highest number of male teachers.
Hence, the correct answer is Mathematics.
