Correct Answer :

Option A

540

Solution :

The correct answer is 540.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Identify the given information:
• Number of day-shift workers in Facility A = 320
• Total number of day-shift workers across Facility A and Facility B = 500

2. Find the number of day-shift workers in Facility B:

Day-shift workers in Facility B=500-320=180

3. Find the number of night-shift workers in Facility A:
According to the problem statement, the number of day-shift workers in Facility B is equal to the number of night-shift workers in Facility A.

Night-shift workers in Facility A=180

4. Find the number of night-shift workers in Facility B:
The number of night-shift workers in Facility B is double that of the night-shift workers in Facility A.

Night-shift workers in Facility B=2×180=360

5. Calculate the total number of night-shift workers across both facilities:

Total night-shift workers=Night-shift workers in Facility A+Night-shift workers in Facility B

Total night-shift workers=180+360=540

Therefore, the total number of night-shift workers employed across both logistics centers is 540.
