Options

A. 2640
B. 2160
C. 1296
D. 864

Answer

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these calculations:

1. **Calculate the total number of males employed in the HR Company:**
- Total employees = 4800
- Percentage of males = 45%

\[ \text{Number of males} = \frac{45}{100} \times 4800 = 0.45 \times 4800 = 2160 \]

2. **Calculate the number of males who are 25 years or older:**
- Percentage of males who are 25 years or older = 60%

\[ \text{Number of males 25 years or older} = \frac{60}{100} \times 2160 = 0.60 \times 2160 = 1296 \]

3. **Calculate the number of males who are younger than 25 years:**
- To find the number of males younger than 25 years, we subtract the number of males who are 25 years or older from the total number of males.

\[ \text{Number of males younger than 25 years} = \text{Total males} - \text{Males 25 years or older} \]
\[ \text{Number of males younger than 25 years} = 2160 - 1296 = 864 \]

Thus, the number of males employed in the HR Company who are younger than 25 years is **864**.
