2. 1221
3. 1182
4. 1426

Correct answer: 1182

Solution

Use the relations among reporters and computer operators to find the male reporters in Studio B, then increase that by 20% to get male reporters in Studio E. Finally, subtract the male reporters in Studio E from the total reporters in Studio E to obtain the female reporters in Studio E. This gives 1182.
