A company has:
- Total employees $=X$
- Number of men employees $=Y$
- $Z \%$ of total employees are advocates.
- $P \%$ of women advocates is equal to 40.

Question: What is the number of men advocates?
Options:
(A) $\(\frac{Z X}{100}-\frac{4000}{P}\)$
(B) $\(\frac{Z X}{100}-4000\)$
(C) $\(\frac{Z}{100}-\frac{4000}{P}\)$
(D) $\(\frac{X}{100}-\frac{4000}{P}\)$
(E) $\(Z X-\frac{4000}{P}\)$

Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Define Key Variables:
- Total employees $=X$
- Men employees = Y
- Women employees $=X-Y$
- Total advocates $=Z \%$ of $\(X=\frac{Z}{100} \times X\)$


2. Interpret " $\(P \%\)$ of women advocates is equal to 40 ":

This is ambiguous, but the most logical interpretation is:
" $P$ \% of all women are advocates, and this number equals 40."
So:

$$
\(\begin{gathered}
\frac{P}{100} \times(\text { Number of women })=40 \\
\frac{P}{100} \times(X-Y)=40
\end{gathered}\)
$$


Solve for $X-Y$ :

$$
\(X-Y=\frac{40 \times 100}{P}=\frac{4000}{P}\)
$$


Thus:

$$
\(Y=X-\frac{4000}{P}\)
$$

6. Compare with Options:

We need an expression for men advocates in terms of $X, Z$, and $P$.
From Step 2, we have $\(\frac{4000}{P}=X-Y\)$, but we don't need $Y$ to express men advocates.
The correct expression is:

$$
\text { Men advocates }=\frac{Z X}{100}-40
$$


But none of the options match this exactly.
However, if we reinterpret the problem to mean:
"The number of women advocates is $P \%$ of some quantity, and this equals 40," then:


$$
\text { Women advocates }=\frac{P}{100} \times(\text { some base })=40
$$


But the base is unclear. The most plausible alternate interpretation is: " $P \%$ of women advocates equals 40," which makes no sense because it implies:

$$
\begin{gathered}
\frac{P}{100} \times(\text { women advocates })=40 \\
\text { Women advocates }=\frac{4000}{P}
\end{gathered}
$$


Then:

$$
\text { Men advocates }=\frac{Z X}{100}-\frac{4000}{P}
$$


This matches Option A.

Conclusion:
The most reasonable answer, given the wording, is Option A.
Final Answer: $A$
