A

24% of 80000 = 19200

F: 15% of 35000 =5250
M: 19200- 5250 = 13950

26% of 13950 = 3627

42% of 5250 = 2205

B

15% of 80000 = 12000

F: 18% of 35000 =6300

M: 12000- 6300 = 5700

C

20% of 80000 = 16000

F: 16% of 35000 =5600

M: 16000- 5600= 10400

41% of 10400 =4264

38% of 5600 = 2128

D

6% of 80000 =4800

F: 10% of 35000 =3500

M: 4800 – 3500 = 1300

36% of 1300= 468

46% of 3500 =1610

E

9% of 80000 =7200

F: 14% of 35000 =4900

47% of 2300= 1081

51% of 4900 = 2499

F

26% of 80000 = 20800

F: 27% of 35000 = 9450

M: 20800 – 9450 = 11350

48% of 11350= 5448

56% of 9450 = 5292

Total number of graduate male employees taking all the six cities together = 3627 + 1881 + 4264+ 468+ 1081+ 5448 = 16769
Total number of graduate female employees taking all the six cities together = 2205+ 2331+ 2128+ 1610+ 2499 + 5292 = 16065 
Required Difference = 16769 - 16065 = 704
