Solution :

Correct Answer: 24

Let us break down the given information step-by-step to find the number of staff members in each college.

Let LA, LB, LC represent the number of lab assistants in colleges A, B, and C respectively, and PA, PB, PC represent the number of professors in colleges A, B, and C respectively.

Step 1: Analyze College A and College C
We are given that the total staff in college A is 82:
LA+PA=82

We are also given that the total staff in C is 24 more than that in A:
LC+PC=82+24=106

For college C, the total number of lab assistants is 6 less than the number of professors:
LC=PC-6

Substitute this value into the total staff equation for C:
(PC-6)+PC=106
2PC=112
PC=56

Now, calculate the lab assistants in C:
LC=56-6=50

Step 2: Find staff details for College B and College A
The number of lab assistants in B is 4 more than in C:
LB=LC+4=50+4=54

The number of professors in A is 44 less than the lab assistants in B:
PA=LB-44=54-44=10

Using the total staff of A, we can find the number of lab assistants in A:
LA=82-PA=82-10=72

Step 3: Solve for College D
The ratio of total staff in college D to lab assistants in A is 3:4.
Let the total staff in D be TD:
TDLA=34
TD=34×72=54

The number of lab assistants in D is 20 less than that in C:
LD=LC-20=50-20=30

Finally, find the number of professors in D (PD):
PD=TD-LD
PD=54-30=24

Thus, the number of professors in D is 24.
