The number of male workers in 2003=5,
the number of male workers in 2004=7 and
the number of male workers in 2005=9.
So the total of male workers in 3yrs.=5+7+9=21.
Again The number of female workers in 2003=8,
the number of female workers in 2004=9 and
the number of female workers in 2005=5.
So the total of female workers in 3yrs.=8+9+5=22.
∴ The difference between the male & female workers =22−21=1.
