The breakup of the total number of employees of a company working in different offices (A to E), in degrees, is given in the pie chart.

Total number of employees = 2400.

If 40%, of the number of employees in office A are shifted equally to office B and E, then what will be the sum of the number of employees in B and C ?

648

Employees in office A = \(\frac{126}{360}\) × 2400 = 840

40% Employees in office A = \(\frac{2}{5}\) × 840 = 336

Now , Shift B & E is \(\frac{336}{2}\) = 168

Old number of employee in B & C = \(\frac{72}{360}\) × 2400 = 480

New number of employee in B & C = 480 + 168 = 648
