Correct Answer :

Option D

340

Solution :

The correct option is 340.

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Given Data:
• Number of day-shift workers in Facility A = 320
• Total number of day-shift workers across Facility A and Facility B = 500

2. Calculate the number of day-shift workers in Facility B:
The total number of day-shift workers is the sum of day-shift workers in Facility A and Facility B.

500=320+Day-shift workers in Facility B

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

3. Determine 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. Calculate 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 average of day-shift workers in Facility A and night-shift workers in Facility B:
• Day-shift workers in Facility A = 320
• Night-shift workers in Facility B = 360

Average=320+3602

Average=6802=340

Therefore, the average number of day-shift workers in Facility A and night-shift workers in Facility B is 340.
